Elisabeth Sparkle, star of an aerobics show, is fired on her 50th birthday by her boss because of her age. When she returns home, her morale at its lowest, she receives an unexpected proposal. A mysterious laboratory offers her a miraculous "substance": if she injects it, she will become "the best version" of herself, "younger, more beautiful, more perfect".
Upon injecting the "substance", Elisabeth gains a new body, who is, as promised, young, beautiful and perfect. In her new form, she goes by Sue. She is instructed by the mysterious supplier of the "substance" to "switch" bodies every seven days "without exception".
