Ivy Schneider's husband Rusty is always away touring with his gospel quartet. Meanwhile, her mother isn't doing so well, and Ivy's father remains reclusive until the opportunity to eat a free meal arrives. Ivy's siblings are no help either. And to top it all off, her precocious daughter Trixie refuses to be potty-trained. In the midst of all this, Ivy reaches out into the community hoping tha she might find other women like herself to talk to. Soon, a group whose members dub themselves "Club Sandwich" begin to offer each other spiritual guidance and support.
