Family members there will monitor his safety as he navigates the house and barn areas. For Mary and the boys, returning home requires an adjustment to Lou's absence as well as challenges to the boys settling back into school having been reunited with their family following a year on the road during which they had fled to avoid the potential for radiation contamination after the Magdum Heights nuclear plant meltdown. As for Mary, she has returned to her position in Aesopolis as a licensed school-based speech-language pathologist working with autism spectrum and emotionally disturbed students in a public school setting. For her it is business as usual. At Thanksgiving, Lou comes home determined to rehabilitate and become a web designer. Toward the end of the first semester of the 2019-2020 school year, the boys' lives settle into a comfortable rhythm, but a year later in January 2020, COVID-19 rears its ugly head. The effects of COVID-19 and its accompanying stay-at-home order impacts the family deeply only to be complicated by the emergence of a Black Lives Matter movement which impassions Marty to involve everyone. Home Again 2020 is the story of the every day life of an American middle class family caught up in a prolonged situation in which they must constantly seek new answers.
