Needing only a fresh angle to write her Veteran's Day special, Kelly discovers first-hand that the Greatest Generation still has enough grit to fight back. While all the authorities are occupied during a massive Homeland Security drill, an urban gang of thieves targets an isolated retirement subdivision...figuring the crippled geriatrics would offer no resistance.

Though Kelly's widowed boyfriend came along only for a post-funeral luncheon, Mitch soon finds himself leading a mismatched flanking team. Kelly's good friend Wade has his own assignment, with a homemade mortar and lots of illegal gunpowder.
