PlotOn her 13th birthday, Jenna Rink is humiliated at her own party and makes a desperate wish to be 30, flirty, and thriving, hoping to escape her teenage woes and be part of the popular crowd. Her wish, mysteriously powered by some magical dust, propels her 17 years into the future. Jenna wakes up as a 30-year-old woman living in a swanky apartment in New York City, working her dream job as an editor for a leading fashion magazine. Disoriented and confused, she discovers that the last 17 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she has no memory of them.
Navigating her new life, Jenna realizes the adult world is not as uncomplicated as she had imagined. As she reconnects with old friends, she discovers that her teenage dreams have come at a significant cost, particularly to her relationship with her childhood best friend. With the perspective of a 13-year-old in a 30-year-old’s life, she attempts to right the wrongs of her unforeseen fast-forward into adulthood, all while navigating the challenges of her career. She faces the ultimate question of what she truly desires in life, as her heart and her inner child guide her through this unexpected journey.
