Plot summary

Feeling overworked by her children, mother-of-three Allyson decides to go on a moms' night out with her friends, Izzy and Sondra. The three expect a night to unwind, leaving Allyson's husband, Sean, to take care of all the kids. After their reservation is canceled, however, things go from bad to worse when Allyson's sister-in-law, Bridget, realizes that her infant son, Phoenix, is missing. The four travel across the city looking for the child, and ultimately learn to quit blaming others for their own problems. Meanwhile, their husbands attempt to look after the children, with disastrous results.
