PlotA discontented mother and her teenage daughter are constantly at odds with each other, unable to see eye to eye on virtually anything in their lives. Both are struggling with their own personal issues; the mother is preparing for her upcoming nuptial while juggling her demanding job, and the daughter is trying to navigate the complexities of high school, including relationships and academic pressure. Their fractious relationship reaches a boiling point one Thursday night during a heated argument at a Chinese restaurant. In a peculiar twist of fate facilitated by a pair of enchanted fortune cookies given to them by the restaurant's owner, they wake up the following morning to discover that they have swapped bodies.
Trapped in each other's bodies, they must now navigate the challenges and intricacies of each other’s daily routines. The mother, now in her daughter's body, has to contend with the social hierarchies and pressures of high school life, while the daughter, in her mother's body, faces the daunting world of adulthood, including preparing for a rapidly approaching wedding and dealing with workplace complexities. This unexpected swap forces them to walk a mile in each other's shoes, leading to both comedic misadventures and eye-opening experiences. As they struggle to return to their original selves, they begin to understand and appreciate each other's struggles, forging a stronger bond in the process.
