PlotA successful sports agent feels frustrated by her male colleagues who overlook her in favor of less qualified men. Determined to break the glass ceiling, she is constantly sidestepped for a promotion that she rightly deserves. One night, after drinking a potent concoction given by a psychic, she wakes up with the unexpected ability to hear men's inner thoughts. Initially, this new power overwhelms and confounds her as she navigates the unfiltered and often disheartening things men really think.
Realizing that this gift can be a powerful tool in her male-dominated profession, she starts to utilize it to outsmart her colleagues and clients, quickly climbing the ranks. As she delves deeper into the minds of men around her, she uncovers surprising truths and hidden motivations, forcing her to confront her own biases and values.
