They say with age comes wisdom, but unfortunately, in Hollywood, no one seems to care. Quickly approaching her fiftieth birthday, talented and once-famous screenwriter Byrdie has lately had a hard time finding work in the movie biz. As she's aged, the industry hasn't, and the new regime isn't interested in what a maturing wordsmith has to say. In desperation, Byrdie dreams up a script-selling scheme, enlisting her attractive nephew Jason, a car salesman, to pitch her work as his own. The ruse is a wild success: All the key players eat up his charm, and her scripts soon become the hottest thing in town! But once she's proved she's still got it, can Byrdie keep up this pretense - and watch someone else reap all the glory for her hard work? Kirstie Alley lights up the screen in this feel-good movie about one woman's quest to prove that life isn't over at a certain age and that youth doesn't have the market on worth.

Once Oscar-nominated script writer Byrdie Langdon feels cheated now studios reject her work, even half-unread, just because she and her characters aren't young enough. So he enlists her brother's penniless but charming son Jason 'Krueger' Langdon to sell her work under an alias, after a 'jocolar' Kramer vs. Kramer rip-off was nearly accepted, which would constitute fraud. But Jason's own ambition and romantic feelings for the one studio executive Byrdie hoped to get trough to get in the way.
