Plot Overview

Wendy Simms a beautiful, famous, rich self-absorbed rock artist is treating everyone badly, even her manager boyfriend Jerry. She is drinking heavily and is missing performing a video. Everyone thinks she is a super bitch. Then she starts having nightmares about a poor abused French woman. Then visions of her being abused by her husband even when Wendy is awake. She starts to see and feel what the older woman feels. Her boyfriend threatens to leave as he's had enough of her drinking and rude behavior. Wendy leaves and goes to a merry-go-round. She gets on as it is spinning. The French woman is also on and smiling. She says Wendy's name. Wendy says "you're real". They embrace. Wendy screams. Then Wendy is shown getting off the merry-go-round and she is smiling. She goes back home and apologizes to her boyfriend and starts cleaning up the place. Jerry takes her in his arms and they kiss happily. The scene switches to the run-down apartment of the French woman. She (in French) is begging him not to beat her. He just smiles and prepares to hit her and she cries out "JERRY!" (They have switched bodies. And lives and skills.)
