Secrets of a Soccer Mom is the comedic story of three engaging women who reluctantly take the field in a “mothers vs. sons” soccer game. Their intention is to let the children win, but as the game unfolds they become more intent on scoring. The competition ignites a fierce desire to recapture their youthful good-humor, independence and sexiness, paving the way toward a better understanding of themselves, their families and changes they need to make in their lives.
