A warm, high-spirited family comedy about a mother and daughter learning to understand and appreciate each other through magical body-swap chaos.

Mother and daughter bicker over everything -- what Anna wears, whom she likes and what she wants to do when she's older. In turn, Anna detests Tess's fiancé. When a magical fortune cookie switches their personalities, they each get a peek at how the other person feels, thinks and lives.
