Christopher Thomas is a philandering, misogynistic 28-year-old CEO of a large financial institution, engaged to a supermodel and living large on his billion-dollar inheritance. His privileged life suddenly takes a dramatic turn on a deserted coastal road when his car crashes leaving him in a coma. He wakes to find that nothing is as it was. Somehow, the roles of the sexes are reversed. Women dominate politics, business, sport, and the media. Men rear children and keep the home. He lives in a rundown terrace house rather than a sprawling waterfront estate; his fiancée is not a model but an auto parts salesperson and he works for a childcare centre on a part-time employees' wage. He can't quite figure out whether he is in a dream or if his glamorous existence was dreamt up, as an escape from his drab, suburban life? He realises though that, Amy, the girl of his dreams, is his only way out of both worlds.
