Description

Single mom Natasha Davila has done a good job holding things together. Her divorce didn't leave her with much, but she has her kids and they are her world. Only now, she's facing a problem she never predicted: Her ex-husband is re-marrying, expecting a new baby and - worst of all - suing Natasha for full custody of their two children.

Desperate to save her family, she turns to her neighbors - fellow single moms facing their own drama. Sharing their laughter and their tears, these near strangers help Natasha find a strength she never knew she had.

And when her ex ups the ante and exposes some disturbing news about Natasha's new friends, she'll need that strength more than ever.
