Homecoming is a 2009 thriller directed by Morgan J. Freeman. Shelby Mercer (Mischa Barton) is beautiful, blond and charismatic. She could have almost any man she wanted, especially in her small town. Shelby is not satisfied with just any beau, however. She still pines after Mike (Matt Long), her high school sweetheart who went on to bigger and better things, abandoning the town that once celebrated him as a golden boy. When Shelby learns that Mike is coming home to visit, she sees her chance to win him back and rewrite her life. What she does not expect is that Mike will not be coming alone. His new girlfriend, Elizabeth (Jessica Stroup), is a lovely, wealthy and competent young woman, and Mike is deeply in love. Shelby looks at Elizabeth and sees only an obstacle to her own happiness. As it becomes increasingly clear that Shelby will do anything to regain her lost love, Mike and Elizabeth wonder if they will escape the town alive.moreless
