When the women set Barbara up on a date with their kids’ handsome and recently divorced soccer coach, the 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.  Will the women realize their bond is truly stronger than they ever imagined?
