A Sort of Homecoming is an American drama film directed by Maria Burton and starring Katherine McNamara, Laura Marano, Parker Mack, Michelle Clunie and Kathleen Wilhoite.
On their way to the debate camp, Amy and Nick bring money to her older sister, who is apparently a single mother, and later pick up a young girl at the airport from Stuyvesant High School in Brooklyn named Rosa Conti who is also sent to help them.
During the night they discuss their family situations, including an incident when he and his mother went to the 1984 World's Fair, and end up encountering his father at home who went on an abusive tirade against the two of them.
Rosa's brother Dylan visits the camp, along with the Susan Levine, a CZN producer working on Tarrity's impeding news story.
Dylan is in the process of making a documentary about a man who discovers Cajun bluegrass music, after hearing a concert by Gatemouth Brown, and also takes a liking to Amy.
To help her deal with her anxiety, Annie tells her about a period in her life after the death of her son where she went on an emotional rollercoaster and took a trip to Valencia where she discovered Falles and felt comfortable with returning to school.
Upon their arrival, Rosa invites them to stay at her family's apartment, and Dylan takes her up on the roof secretly trying to make out with her, but she resists her advances.
She seems like she and the bartender are about to realize their relationship with one another when the cheers of other bar patrons watching a football game startle her, and she runs away with Nick following her.
Returning to Lafayette, she finds that the school intends to take action against her and her coach for not coming home with Nick when his father wanted them to.
