Plot Summary
Amy Mitchell is a 32-year-old woman living in the Chicago suburbs with her kids, Jane and Dylan; her husband, Mike; and their dog, Roscoe. She works as a sales rep for a coffee company, prepares healthful lunches for her children, does their homework for them, goes to all of their extracurricular activities, and is active in the school’s PTA, which is run by the domineering Gwendolyn James and her cronies, Stacy and Vicky. When Amy catches Mike cheating on her with a camgirl, she kicks him out and attempts to keep everything together. After a particularly stressful day, Amy publicly quits the PTA because of Gwendolyn’s overzealous bake sale.
At a nearby bar, she meets Carla Dunkler, a laid-back, sexually-active single mom of one son, Jaxon, and Kiki Moore, a stay-at-home mom of four who admires Amy’s dissent. Amy and Carla are irritated to see that Kiki’s husband is domineering since he expects her to take care of all of the kids and the house without any help, and Amy and Kiki are taken aback by Carla’s very hands-off approach to parenting. The three embark on an all-night bender, which inspires Amy to loosen up with her kids.
Amy wants to start dating again but is inexperienced, as she had a shotgun marriage at 20. She ultimately strikes up a conversation with Jessie Harkness, a kind and handsome widowed father who has a crush on her, which leads to the two of them kissing. When Amy brings store-bought donut holes to the bake sale, she draws the ire of Gwendolyn, who uses her PTA authority to get Jane benched from the soccer team. Angered, Amy decides to run for PTA president against her. A meet-and-greet at Amy’s draws only one visitor, who tells them that Gwendolyn has launched a rival party at her own house.
