Three grown-up siblings find themselves living at vastly different levels of financial security from one another. The plot of “Home Economics” season 2 kicks off when Tom releases a book that doesn’t do well, forcing him to go to his younger brother, Connor for financial assistance.
However, Tom’s hoping he can get back into that middle-class lifestyle with the newest book he’s working on, which takes cues from his real-life family. This gives Tom a bit of anxiety because he doesn’t know how they’ll react once they figure out the book is about them. Meanwhile, Sarah is just trying to make ends meet while Connor attempts to pick up the pieces after his divorce.
