The family lives in Electric City, Washington, just a few miles south of the Colville Indian Reservation. Fiercely loyal and just plain fierce, they're bound by a series of darkly comedic and hauntingly violent events: domestic trouble; religious fanaticism; benders punctuated with pauses to dry out that never stick. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a religious zealot takes off with Smoker's daughter, there's no question that his brotheramp;mdash;who continues doggedly to try and put his life in orderamp;mdash;will join him in an attempt to return her.
