SILVER ALERT

Narrator Caitlin Davies excels as the irascible Herbert Atlas, an octogenarian who is on a road trip through South Florida. His getaway--for the purpose of avoiding being placed in a home--triggers a Silver Alert. He is accompanied by 20-something Dee Dee Mullins, who is also on the lam. The recovering addict, former sex worker, and abuse victim wants to see the princesses at Disney World. Davies portrays Dee Dee with wide-eyed innocence and an air of hopefulness. Overall, Davies matches Lee's style and tone as Herbert and Dee Dee, who are at the end and beginning of their lives, reveal how hard choices pop up now and then and how the decisions we make often affect so many others.
