​

After a fight with her partner Sam calls her Dad, Jim, to see if it would be OK to come home for a while.  This is a request that would normally elate Jim, but something in his daughter's voice results in him flying to Detroit to make the 3000 km drive back to Edmonton with her.  When he arrives, he finds his daughter with a black eye and broken arm. Rather than talk about it, Sam and Jim do what they do best-- ignore, avoid, deny and tell jokes.  Sam Heads Home is an edgy, road trip comedy that paints a bittersweet portrait of fathers and daughters and the distances between them.
