Homie Alone is a fast-paced, heart-filled family comedy that celebrates the beautiful chaos of Black family life. Ten-year-old Homie, the spirited youngest of a big Southern family, is mistakenly left behind when the clan heads out of town for Nanny’s legendary cookout. At first, Homie is thrilled—no rules, no siblings, and plenty of snacks. But the solo celebration is cut short when Cousin Mike—the family’s lovable but shady outcast—shows up uninvited, claiming he’s just checking on the house. What follows is a hilarious, heartfelt face-off as Homie tries to hold his ground, defend the home, and figure out why Mike is really there. Meanwhile, over at Nanny’s house, tensions boil beneath the sweet tea as the rest of the family navigates their own drama. Sibling rivalries flare, secrets get exposed, and Nanny holds court with tough love and southern sass. All the while, no one realizes that Homie isn’t with them—until it’s too late and a storm traps them miles away. Homie Alone is more than just a comedy—it’s a rich, emotional ride filled with laugh-outloud moments, multigenerational storytelling, and a deep celebration of identity, forgiveness, and family. With its vibrant characters, smart humor, and crossover potential, this story is ready to become the next iconic family film.
