40year old Alice suffers memory loss after an accident at the gym. When she awakes in hospital, she imagines she is 29 again, in love with her husband, great friends with her sister and pals with her best friend. Then why are they all cold-shouldering her and her husband divorcing her? Her sister quickly fills her in on the cold, resentful and unhelpful person she became. No-one likes her and Alice has a lot of work to do to repair the relationships and become more like her younger self.
