Jackie (Susan Sarandon) is a mother looking after her two kids. Her ex-husband, (Ed Harris), who gets weekend custody of the kids lives in New York with a high-fashion photographer girlfriend Isabel (Julia Roberts) who is half his age. Isabel is often left to look after the children at weekends – a job at odds with her lifestyle. When Jackie learns she has cancer, she worries that Isabel won’t be able to look after her children if the worst happens.
