One year after the passing of their daughter, a troubled minister and his wife, Darren & Kim Yates, move toNew Yorkin hopes of saving their struggling marriage.   Kim’s guilt runs deep as she feels responsible for their daughter’s death while Darren’s many attempts to move on are met with scorn.   He encourages his wife to teach piano again – a skill she has virtually abandoned.  Kim was once a teacher and one of her biggest regrets was that she never got to pass on her piano skills to her daughter.

The Yates’ relationship is on the brink as Kim continually pushes Darren away while Darren misses being intimate with his wife.   It has been a year since they have slept together and Darren’s growing frustration over this is tearing them even further apart.  They fight to hold onto each other and any semblance of faith and in the process encounter two individuals in their new “home” who, like them, are unable to move beyond the pain of the past.

Esther Monroe is a 40-something real estate agent who is suffering a string of bad luck.  She has not been able to sell a house in months and is on the verge of not only losing her job, but her own home.  Nightmares have plagued Esther for years.  At the age of 10, her mother locked Esther in a closet where she witnessed her abusive father kill her mother.   Abandoned most of her life, the one relationship she wishes would end permanently is with her abusive ex-husband Jack.

Darren tries to help Esther when she comes to him for counsel.  Their relationship is a rocky one at first, but eventually Esther allows not only Darren but Kim into her life.   Kim and Esther discover they share a passion that has turned into a fear – the piano.  Esther’s mother was also a teacher whose tragic death cut short the chance for Esther to learn the piano from her.  Could these women overcome their feelings of guilt and loss by coming together through the piano?

Brad Hamilton is an insecure actor who will do practically anything for a good part.  On the verge of landing a great role, the part he does not want to play is that of son to his mentally unstable mother and his aloof father.  They had high hopes for their son becoming a professional hockey player.  That quickly ended when, as a teen, Brad was involved in a skating accident with his younger sister.  His parents have held him responsible for her death and in the years that followed, have shut Brad out of their lives.

Now, as a 32-year-old, Brad is a lonely man, who looks for acceptance anywhere since his parents are unable to give it to him.  He uses women as a way to feel better about himself.  He has kept his sister’s skates as a constant reminder of the anguish he can’t let go. It has gripped him to the point where he is afraid to skate, even in an amateur hockey league Darren is involved in.  It is through this league that Brad finds a mentor in Darren and an authentic friendship he so desperately needs.

Darren becomes the catalyst who brings hope to these fractured souls, who find themselves coming together in Home’s climax where Esther’s jealous ex goes on a rampage.  Jack is out to get Esther and burn down their house after Esther defies him and puts the house up for sale.   Will Esther share the same fate as her mother?

After the smoke clears, Kim finally allows Darren to reach out not only to her, but to their new congregation, in a way he wasn’t able to before.  Speaking from his broken heart and into the hearts of those whose lives have been shattered but not taken, he expounds:  “Some places we find hard to leave, we get comfortable. In other places, no matter how much we look, answers don’t live.  Leave it at that.  Move on.”
