A warm, playful comedy-drama about two misfits—a carefree adult and a neglected child—learning to grow up and be young through each other's friendship.

Molly Gunn, the freewheeling daughter of a deceased rock legend, is forced to get a job when her manager steals her money. As nanny to Ray - the precocious, oft-ignored daughter of a music executive - she learns what it means to be an adult while teaching Ray how to be a child.
