    Brendan Penny will headline the new movie Family Practice Mysteries: Coming Home. In the mystery, actress Amanda Schull plays Dr. Rachel Hunt,  a former Army surgeon. After losing her husband in combat she moves back to her small hometown with her teenage twins, Chloe (played by Isla Crera) and Matthew (played by Jett Klyne), to work at a small clinic.
     
    When one of her patients dies, Dr. Hunt becomes suspicious. Her attempts to involve the authorities are met with resistance by charming police detective Jack Quinn (Brendan Penny), who is not convinced that a murder took place.
     
    Dr. Hunt puts her background in forensics to work and calls in favors from people in the community to figure out what happened to her patient. She is so successful that Detective Quinn joins forces with her to catch the killer.
