In 1913, Tommy Murphy wins the girl of his dreams at the town festival when Caitlin O'Leary agrees to dance with him. Violet surprises him by kissing him in front of Caitlin, humiliating his date and setting off a chain of emotions. The moment ends with Caitlin's curse condemning Tommy and all his descendants to incredibly bad luck.

Feeling humiliated, Caitlin curses Tommy and all of his descendants with incredibly bad luck. The curse seems to hang over the Murphy line, threatening misfortune at every turn. The festival becomes the origin point of a generations-spanning fate.

Tommy tries to track Caitlin down to reconcile, hoping to lift the curse. He is heartbroken when he learns she has married someone else, sealing the rift between their families. The revelation leaves him to face a life shadowed by bad luck.

One hundred years pass before Meg Murphy and her brother Charlie discover Tommy's diary while researching a way to end the curse. The diary hints that reversing the curse will require a token from Caitlin's line. The discovery moves the Murphys from desperation to action.

Meg and Charlie manage a daring heist to steal Tommy's lucky coin from Harvest Hills Historical Museum. The coin is the symbolic key to breaking the curse, and its possession becomes the central leverage in the plan. The theft marks a catalyst for a chain of new misfortunes and revelations.

Meg realizes Ivy Murray is a descendant of Caitlin O'Leary, and she also suspects Brett is another Caitlin descendant. This discovery ties the modern-town kids to the ancient curse and sets up the festival exchange. The relationships deepen as the dance approaches.

Meg schemes to pass the coin to Brett at the town festival, hoping to sever the curse's grip. Brett, unaware of the full stakes, asks Meg to the festival, confirming their shared Caitlin lineage. The exchange stitches together romantic and magical-fate strands.

A fragment of Tommy's diary ends up in Charlie's hands, revealing that the coin's transfer has inadvertently cursed Brett's family. The revelation heightens the tension as the consequences ripple through the next generation. The diary ties past and present into a single thread.

Brett's house is suddenly raided by an angry monkey, a bizarre manifestation of the curse's mischief. The chaos underscores how unpredictable luck has become for the Murphys and their Caitlin-linked rivals. The incident accelerates the push to fix the situation before the festival's end.

Meg convinces Ivy that she never intended to cause harm through the coin swap, and Ivy confronts how the curse has affected her as well. The two set aside old grievances and race toward the closing ceremony to set things right. Their uneasy alliance becomes a foundation for future friendship.

At the closing ceremony, Brett returns the coin to Meg, and a bolt of lightning strikes just as Meg is knocked toward a flag tower. Brett's quick rescue leads to a kiss, sealing a healing moment for both families. The public displays of luck falter, but personal bonds begin to mend.

Meg and Ivy become best friends, and Meg and Brett start dating as the curse loosens its grip. At science camp, Meg accidentally invents a potion that grows hair on bald heads, showing her scientific potential. The Murphys begin to embrace a hopeful future despite the curse's past.

Meg rereads the last part of Tommy's diary, which recalls that Tommy, due to bad luck, meets his wife at the hospital and throws his coin into the fountain, causing a flood. She learns that the curse is tied to attitude as much as fate, and that a positive mindset matters. The tale reinforces the idea that attitude shapes luck.

Meg's family travels to the Grand Canyon, their mischief provoking more bad luck for Ivy and Brett, who must run for their lives while laughing at the chaos. The scene caps the story with a playful note on Murphy's Law turning every plan into an adventure. The family reflects on luck, love, and resilience.
