Plot 

The official synopsis for 'Broke' reads: "Jaime Camil and Pauley Perrette star in Broke, a comedy about Jackie (Perrette), a single suburban mother who is shocked when her estranged sister, Elizabeth (Natasha Leggero), her sister's outrageously wealthy, big-hearted husband, Javier (Camil), and Javier's fiercely loyal assistant/driver/friend land on her doorstep in need of a place to live after the couple’s money dries up. Though class differences may separate the women, and the size of the house and the number of people living in it will test the limits of family ties, the familiar bond of sisterhood might be the catalyst they need to restore their relationship."
