The Road Home is the classic Americana love story. Growing up in Las Vegas, NV. Danny and Melissa meet at age eight but are destined to become life long friends whose souls are connected instantly. During their difficult and tragic teen years they cling to each other for love and security. Despite this, they are afraid to declare their love for each other, for fear that it could ruin the beautiful friendship they have.

Eventually their lives go down two different roads. Danny fills the void in his heart with his passion and love for America’s pastime. He quickly takes a down and out college baseball team to the top and is destined for the big leagues. While Melissa, who’s filled with insecurities from her youth, takes her pure beauty and becomes a famous model, ignoring her true dream of becoming a poet.

Although they are apart their lives are forever connected. With metaphors from Baseball and American life, how these two soul mates get back home to fulfill the true desires of their hearts, plays out like a triumphant and glorious seven game world series. It is a story of imperishable hope, courage, faith, love and coming home. -- © Affinity Films [More]

“Could she ever love me like I love her or were we destined to be best friends?” Even set in the world of baseball, I was stunned how less I could care to know the answer to that question.
