Many sites prefer to have their more precise inner pages rank better than their home pages, because the more precise pages often convert better. So an inner page replacing a homepage wouldn't be a loss.

In your case, it sounds like this isn't what happened... and that instead your homepage may have either dropped or disappeared (perhaps due to over-optimization of inbound links to the page).

Can you describe more clearly what the situation is.
