What is family and what is a home? The answers are as varied as the characters of The Home. In the mid 1950s, teenage culture emerges, rock 'n roll arrives, and Walt, a naive, introverted thirteen-year old, enters an institution for children of working mothers and foster home transfers.

Walt adapts and survives in a semi-isolated world of triumphs and tragedies, including communal retaliation, sexual awakening, junior high exploits, and a growing awareness of a nostalgic-laden future.
