Set in Washington DC, Homecoming is the funny, but poignant story of five friends who attended Hayward University, a Historically Black University, together in the late-1990`s. The members of the group, now in their late-thirties, have kept in touch over the years, but have drifted somewhat apart. While gathering for Homecoming weekend at the house that was once their off-campus dorm, news of one member`s recent death forces the friends to reflect on the past; rekindle relationships; reveal secrets; and redefine their lives.
Professor Hill Hadley and his wife Leslie host the weekend at Eleanor Roosevelt House, the group`s old off-campus dorm, that they bought, renovated, and now reside in; their daughter Ashley recently left for college, so they are now empty-nesters and trying to relive their college years by inviting their friends to stay at "Eleanor" for Homecoming weekend -- the visitors are: Deena Scott, a famous Hollywood television writer, who has her career down pat, but not her love-life; Dr. Barrett Wallingford, a successful psychologist, who dated Deena in college; and Abby Long, an Afrocentric bi-racial social worker who lives in Brooklyn with her young son.
When Abby asks the members of the group if they can chip in for their deceased friend`s funeral (who was also the father of her child), the mood changes and issues from the past resurface.
