The Way Home follows the lives of three generations of strong, independent women: Kat Landry (Leigh), her teen daughter Alice (Laflamme-Snow), and Kat’s mother Del (MacDowell). Kat left her little Canadian rural community over 20 years ago because of some major life changes, and she hasn’t spoken to Del since. Kat is at a crossroads in her life, so she and Alice decide to return to the family farm, even if Kat’s return home isn’t what she had hoped for. Upon discovering their power to time travel, Alice and Kat are motivated to learn the truth about the earlier tragedies in order to alter their future. Kat’s childhood friend Elliot (Williams) is there for them in both time periods, guiding the three ladies back to each other as they travel through history.
