Lorna and her mother thought they were through with each other but life gets a jolt when Lorna decides to turn over a new leaf -- to stay off drugs and move back home. Caught in the crossfire is Lorna's young daughter Dorrie, whose heart's desire is to have her family together. A tense journey into a matriarchal triangle, Home is a layered and subtle film, simultaneously about the hope of youth, the resignation of age, and personal responsibility.
