Consumed by his job, Evan is out of touch with Olivia's world until he discovers that her imaginary friends, who she communicates with through her security blanket, seem to have an uncanny ability to predict financial trends. Desperate to regain his edge at work, Evan begins to rely on Olivia's imaginary guidance, which bafflingly proves to be highly accurate. He starts taking his daughter's fantastical advice, leading to unexpected successes.
As Evan's relationship with Olivia deepens through their shared secret, he finds himself reconnecting with the joys of fatherhood and the magic of childhood imagination. With the stakes of his career growing increasingly complex, Evan is faced with the challenge of balancing his professional obligations with the newfound bond he shares with his daughter.
