What would it be like for a girl to spend a day as a boy and for a boy to spend a day as a girl? This is what Meghan and Michael find out as they take on each other's life for a day. Meghan is a synchronized swimmer, and Michael plays football, so switching roles is quite a revelation! When they attend a party with members of the opposite sex, they learn to appreciate "the other side." Both come out of their experience having shed a few prejudices.
