Sounds interesting - only question I have is, who is the antagonist?
Oh, Eoin. Loglines are so difficult for me. I have two-hander, their paths split. Another version is about the husband. I have been working on this logline now, got help, and tried to crystallize the gist of it. Thinking what film has a similar structure and remembered Falling Down with Michael Douglas. My young family returns to home town and the husband refuses to seek help from in-laws. He takes off to find a place for them, followed by detectives. While on this journey everything goes wrong and he ends up on the wrong side with the radicals, which he resolves by using skills he got in his former life.
