Family Switch Storyline

The working couple Jess and Bill, along with their three children, Wyatt, Miles, and CC, make up the discordant Walker family that lives in Los Angeles. As Christmas draws closer, the joyous parents try to heal the emotional wounds in their family. When they attend the Griffith Observatory to see a rare planetary alignment, their efforts take an unexpected turn.

The dynamics of the family change after a brilliant flash at the observatory. Bill and Wyatt, as well as Jess and CC, discover that their bodies have been switched. In an attempt to reverse this cosmic misfortune, the Walkers unintentionally solicit neighbor Rolf’s assistance in keeping an eye on toddler Miles and the family dog, Pickles, who is also caught in the switch.

Before the planetary alignment ends, the family must fix the broken telescope in order to reverse the exchange. As they try to adjust to life in their new forms, humor breaks out. Now that she is in CC’s position, Jess stumbles during an important customer presentation, and CC, in the guise of Jess, accidentally ruins her daughter’s soccer game. Wyatt and Bill deal with their own comedic obstacles at the same time. The family races against time when they realize that the telescope is missing a specially-made lens and that the next alignment won’t happen until 2162. Bill tugs at threads to get the lens before it’s time. They attend a party along the route and learn about the sacrifices made by each family member. The family chooses to remain together despite the swap jeopardizing their separate goals.

Their talents are displayed in a combined music concert, which gets Jess promoted. After obtaining the important lens for the telescope, they head straight to the observatory with Angelica’s assistance. After an incident that destroys the new lens, Miles admits he had the original lens all along. The family is first disappointed, but the following morning they awaken in their natural bodies.

Wyatt makes amends with Ariana after learning some important lessons, CC is given another chance at soccer tryouts, and the family treasures their bond. With a heartfelt goodbye, Angelica sends the Walkers on their way to having a very happy Christmas.

In the end, the heavenly journey serves as a spark for familial unity and emphasizes the value of respecting and understanding one another.
