A Hallmark-style romantic fantasy about a woman whose magical birthday wish forces her to reconsider her life plans and discover unexpected happiness.

A woman expecting to get engaged on her all-important 30th birthday gets a different surprise after she makes her birthday wish: a glimpse into her future – which doesn’t resemble anything she’s ever imagined for herself.
