A lighthearted family fantasy about a bumbling fairy godmother helping a child's wish come true, built on warmth, humor, and the magic of believing in dreams.

Murray is a male fairy godmother, and he is trying to help 8-year-old Anabel to fulfil her "simple wish" - that her father Oliver, who is a cab driver, would win the leading role in a Broadway musical. Unfortunately, Murray's magic wand is broken and the fairies convention is threatened by evil witches Claudia and Boots.
