Lonely Emma (Joanna Kerns) makes one wish on her 75th birthday: that she could go back in time and mend her broken relationship with her daughter (Harley Jane Kozak). To Emma's surprise, she wakes the next day as a 40-year-old and gets her unsuspecting daughter to hire her as a nanny. Things don't go as easily as Emma had planned, however, when she discovers that her daughter's home life is less than perfect.
