After a night of heavy drinking, Dave and Mitch make a reckless decision to urinate in a fountain. In a moment of jest, they wish they could switch lives, igniting the adventure that will follow.

The next morning, both men wake up to the shocking reality that they have magically switched bodies. Confused and disoriented, they realize they must navigate each other's lives and responsibilities.

Determined to return to their original selves, Dave and Mitch rush back to the park to find the fountain. To their dismay, they discover that the fountain has been taken away for renovations, leaving them with no option but to adapt.

Mitch, now in Dave's body, struggles to handle the responsibilities of being a law partner. His lack of legal knowledge almost jeopardizes a crucial merger with a Japanese company, creating chaos in the office.

While impersonating Dave, Mitch forms an unexpected bond with Sabrina, Dave's assistant. Their relationship begins to blossom, contrasting Mitch's carefree ways with Dave's family commitments.

As Dave navigates life as Mitch, he discovers that his friend has an unexpected career as an adult film star. This revelation horrifies Dave, forcing him to confront the very different nature of Mitch's life.

Dave's miscommunication with his wife, Jamie, leads to an emotional fallout. The tension escalates as they miss an important anniversary celebration, testing their relationship even further.

During a tense merger meeting, Mitch embraces the responsibilities of being Dave and surprises everyone by taking charge. His bold negotiation leads to a successful deal, but the pressure of maintaining appearances grows.

A storm at a baseball game serves as a turning point for both friends. Mitch is confronted with the reality of Dave's loving family, prompting a deep reflection on their identities and choices.

After a heartfelt consideration, Dave recognizes Jamie as his true wife and is determined to switch back into his own body. Together with Mitch, they plan to return to the fountain for one final chance.

In a comedic climax, Dave and Mitch rush to the fountain, facing hilarity and embarrassment as they attempt their final wish. They navigate through onlookers and security, creating a chaotic scene.
