A sexy, propulsive meditation on modern motherhood, tracking the lives of three women as they struggle to define themselves in the face of new obligations and heightened expectations. Some women, with their perfect children and pricey athleisure, make motherhood look easy. But not Nicole. She never wanted to be a stay-at-home parent--losing her job left her no choice. Now, between her toddlers' demands, husband's distance, and father's deteriorating health, she's pulled in every direction except her own. Something has to give. Katrina's in the same dissatisfied boat. After flirting with a handsome stranger at a bar, she's ready to choose pleasure over responsibility. But when her impulse goes surprisingly awry, she must reconcile her reawakened desires with the realities of home. Housewife Rose battles the constraints of motherhood in the '80s. Venting her growing restlessness into a diary of secret ambitions, she wonders whether it's all worth it. Is an unhappy mother really better than a selfish one? In a shocking twist, the women find their lives intertwined. But as they face their longings head-on, it's unclear whether they're destined for a breakthrough...or breakdown.
