Is it possible to ever go home again? This is the premise behind October Road. A once close group of friends suffers conflict when one of the gang, Nick Garrett, best selling novelist, returns to Knights Ridge only to realize that things are not as they once were. After Nick has been absent for ten years and portrayed his friends and family in his book in a not so nice way, he is greeted with anger, disappointment, and a complete change in attitude since his departure.
As Nick struggles to reconnect with his once closest childhood friends, he quickly comes to the realization that everyone has changed and grown up. Physical Phil has become a shut-in after the trauma of September 11, Owen is a loving father and husband who discovers that his wife is having an affair with his close friend Ikey, Eddie owns a landscape business and wants nothing to do with Nick, and Nick’s ex-girlfriend Hannah - once the love of his life - has a 10-year-old boy named Sam, who Nick thinks may be his son.
As the characters go through life’s everyday problems, as well as adapting to the presence of Nick, many emotions and feelings are brought to the surface - some leaving raw wounds seething, others adding even more questions. As the first season closes with Owen running off to New York City to get away from his cheating wife, and questions arising between Nick and Hannah, the viewer is left yearning and anxiously awaiting for the continuation - which they are about to be granted in October Road - The Complete Second Season.
The second season of October Road starts off just after Nick (Bryan Greenberg) has told Hannah Jane (Laura Prepon) that he loves her deeply and wants to be a family with her and Sam (Slade Pearce), something that Hannah has waited ten long years to hear. However, the past is the past, and she is not sure she wants to put her heart and the heart of her son on the line.
