Julie Hoult and her sister Shawna Craig used to have similar lifestyles and were very close - that is, until Julie got married and had kids. Now their lives are moving in opposite directions, and both feel their connection is fraying beyond repair. Julie is surrounded by children all day, every day. Running a daycare out of her house, Julie's not only a mother to her own two children but also a caregiver to three additional young ones. Her husband does the outdoor chores and errands, but other than that, she's on her own. Shawna - single, carefree, and completely independent - shrugs off Julie's motherhood stresses as mere whining. Shawna thinks her own job is far more stressful: she works at a call center, dealing with delinquent credit card holders. To relax, Shawna hits the bars. Julie used to join her, until she became a mother. Shawna thinks she's neater, better organized, and more fun, and she takes every opportunity to let Julie know. Can these two women reconnect and renew their sisterly bond, or will the stress of a Crash Test weekend drive them both over the edge? The next 48 hours will change their lives - for better, or worse.
