She continues to portray Susan and Sharon, the twins who were separated at age one, met up twelve years later at summer camp, switched places and went on to reunite their divorced parents.

The film focuses on Sharon's daughter, Nikki, who tries to connect her mother with her best friend Mary's father, portrayed by Tom Skerritt.

Sharon Ferris (née McKendrick) is divorced and living as a single mother in Tampa, Florida.

Her daughter, Nikki, is not happy about their impending move to New York City and Sharon's decision to send her to an all-girls school in the fall.

While in summer school, Nikki makes enemies with Jessica Dintruff but befriends Mary Grand.

To stop Nikki from moving to New York City and to see their parents happily married, the girls scheme to set them up.

Susan, disguised as Sharon, "accidentally" bumps into Bill at a bar called the Press Box and watches a few innings of a baseball game with him.

The real Sharon detests baseball, and is confused when Bill drops by her workplace the next day and mentions how much fun they had.

She contacts Brian Carey, Susan's husband, who is a pilot for Trans World Airlines, and involves him in her scheme.
