As much as many adults yearn to "go home again"--to return to the place of their childhood and somehow magically return to a simpler time of close friendships and few responsibilities--the inevitability of change ensures that that homecoming will never be as simple or utopian as it seems. Best-selling novelist Nick Garrett (Bryan Greenberg) returns home to the quiet town of Knights Ridge, Massachusetts after a 10-year absence to find his friends and family disappointed and angry with him because of his prolonged, silent absence and his unfavorable characterizations of them in his novel. Nick struggles to reconnect with his closest childhood friends, but things have changed for them all: Physical Phil (Jay Paulson) has become a shut-in after the events of September 11, 2001 and refuses to leave his home, Owen Rowan (Brad William Henke) is now a devoted husband and father, Eddie Latekka (Geoff Stults) owns a landscape business and holds a powerful grudge against Nick, Ikey (Evan Jones) is stuck in a dead-end job shoveling mulch, Nick's old girlfriend Hannah (Laura Prepon) has a 10-year old son Sam (Slade Pearce) whom Nick suspects may be his son, and former outsider Ray "Big Cat" Cataldo seems to be the most successful of the group as the owner of the town's biggest construction company. While the past is a powerful bond that rekindles old friendships, even repeatedly returning the group to a make-believe stage where they lip-synch and play air guitar to their favorite songs, their relationships with one another are intrinsically changed. Add in Nick's complicated attempts to make a place for himself as an educator at the local college under Dean Etwood (Penny Johnson) and cultivate a new relationship with his student Aubrey (Odette Yustman), and life becomes incredibly complicated. October Road is a powerful drama that explores the passage of time and the power and limitations of friendship through a rich cast of characters. --Tami Horiuchi

My wife and I liked this series which was cancelled. I bought her this DVD series so we can see the extra dvd-only footage which should basically tie up the loose ends. If you want to know who is Sam's father...watch this.....but be aware you don't get much bang for your buck in the 10 minutes in the extra footage.

Average Rating:

Rating: - DVD exclusive footage is only 10 minutes

Rating: - Good while it lasted
One of ABC's biggest mistakes. This network continues to make blunder after blunder by not allowing shows to gain an audience.

Rating: - October Road
It was a good movie but there are no other seasons so as a result I only saw season 1 which ends with a question mark basically.I did enjoy what I did see. It didn't think it was well done even though the storyline was good.

Rating: - October road
I think that there was real potential for this show but it just did not show through.
The lead role I thought was good but I am biased as I am a tree hill fan!
The storys could of done with a jump as there was just no get up and go no grip that made you want to come back and continue watching.
Bit of a let down for me but if you are bored and a little desperate then do watch

Rating: - LAST EPISODE MISSING
Although I like October Road I was disappointed the last episode with Abrey kissing the younger brother Ronnie was not included?
