Three women — a grandmother, her daughter, and her granddaughter — reunite on the family farm to heal after the daughter’s life-changing divorce, but the tension between them only makes matters worse. That is, until the granddaughter slips back in time and meets her mom as a teen. A family drama that unravels a complex intergenerational saga in both the past and present, The Way Home stars Andie MacDowell (Magic Mike XXL), Chyler Leigh (Supergirl), and Sadie Laflamme-Snow (Unicorn Academy). The series was created by mother-daughter duo Heather Conkie (Heartland, 7th Heaven) and Alexandra Clarke (Departure, MsLabelled) alongside executive producer Marly Reed (Midnight at the Magnolia).

What happens in The Way Home?

It’s 1814 in New Brunswick, Canada, and a woman is being chased through the woods by townspeople intent on capturing a witch. As she dives into a murky pond, we’re taken to modern-day Canada. There, we’re introduced to Kat Landry (Leigh), who’s currently going through a painful divorce, and her daughter, Alice (Laflamme-Snow), who has been caught in a self-destructive spiral that led to her expulsion from school. At her wit’s end with her family issues and losing her job as a journalist, Kat moves with Alice back into her childhood home after receiving a letter from her mother, Del (MacDowell), about mending their fractured relationship. 

But her hopes for a fresh start in the small farming town where she grew up aren’t panning out — Kat is surrounded by painful memories of her brother, who died young, and Alice feels even more isolated than she did at her old high school. On top of that, Del insists she never even sent Kat a letter and is resistant to addressing the pair’s issues, despite welcoming her granddaughter, Alice, with open arms. Alice, Del, and Kat are about to implode their relationships with each other, until Alice, intent on running away from home, falls into the very same pond that we saw back in 1814. When she’s pulled out of the water by a concerned passerby, she’s once again face-to-face with her mom — except now, Kat’s a teen in the late ’90s.
