Four soccer moms struggle to balance their busy schedules, family lives, and sanity: Meg, an overachieving people pleaser; Barbara, a recent divorcee; Rocky, a high-maintenance diva; and Connie, a curvaceous and big-hearted mother. When the women set Barbara up on a date with their kids' handsome (and recently divorced) soccer coach, that blossoming relationship forces the other women to re-examine their own marriages. Their friendship is further tested when it comes time to compete for spots in the school's gifted program. In the end, the women realize their bond is truly stronger than they ever imagined.
