Der Psychotherapeut Sam and seine Frau Annie ziehen aus New York in die verschlafene Kleinstadt, in der Sam aufgewachsen ist. Dort arbeitet Sam fast rund um die Uhr in seiner Praxis im Souterrain mit seinen (fast nur weiblichen) Klientinnen, während Annie zu viel Zeit allein verbringt. Sam ahnt nicht, dass durch einen Lüftungsschacht all seine Therapiesitzungen im Obergeschoss zu hören sind: die Frau des Apothekers, die sich scheiden lassen möchte. Die Malerin mit dem enttäuschenden Liebesleben. All diese Geschichten mit anzuhören, ist unwiderstehlich.

We all want different things. Francie wants to be the perfect mother. Nell wants to escape the past. Collette wants to spend more time with her family. All Winnie wants is to have her baby back. When Nell suggests a night out in Brooklyn to her new mums club, the others jump at the chance. But the evening takes a tragic turn when single mother Winnie learns that her six-week-old son, Midas, has been kidnapped.

They call themselves the May Mothers - a collection of new moms who gave birth in the same month. Twice a week, with strollers in tow, they get together in Prospect Park, seeking refuge from the isolation of new motherhood. When the group’s members agree to meet for drinks at a hip local bar, they have in mind a casual evening of fun, a brief break from their daily routine. But on this sultry Fourth of July night during the hottest summer in Brooklyn’s history, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is taken from his crib.

Sie nennen sich die "May Mothers": eine New Yorker Gruppe von frischgebackenen Müttern, deren Babys im selben Monat geboren wurden. Schon in der Schwangerschaft hielten sie über ein Online-Forum Kontakt, nun treffen sie sich wöchentlich im Park, um ihre Freuden und Nöte zu teilen. Als sie eines Abends gemeinsam ausgehen, geschieht etwas Furchtbares: Der kleine Midas wird trotz Babysitter aus seinem Kinderbett entführt. Die Polizei scheint inkompetent. Und während der nun folgenden, quälenden Suche muss sich jede der Frauen lang gehüteten Geheimnissen und unbequemen Wahrheiten stellen.

Newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter are ready to begin their lives together in a small town in upstate New York. Whilst Annie spends most of her time alone, Sam, her therapist husband, works long hours in his home office, tending to the egos of his mostly female clientele. Little does Sam know that through a vent in the ceiling, every word of his sessions can be heard from the room upstairs. The pharmacist's wife, contemplating a divorce. The well-known painter whose boyfriend doesn't satisfy her in bed. Who could resist eavesdropping?
