***SPOILERS*** TV news anchorwoman Christie Copperfield, Mimi Kennedy, who been the top TV newscaster for some ten years is starting to hit hard times. Now 40 and looking her age the stations sales manager,Bob Delegall, has come up with the latest ratings and it doesn't look good for Christie. She's down by ten points in the rating and still dropping.
Knowing that youth is the way to go on TV News Christie is desperate to get a face-over or even face lift but finds from her fellow female newscaster Shauna Allen, Amanda Horan Kennedy, that there's a much better way to look young: Aqua Vita. Aqua Vita is a liquid that Shauna has been drinking for years that has given her, at age 45, a youthful look of someone in their 20's. The only hitch to this fountain of youth that Shauna keeps from Christine is that it accelerates the aging process when, after getting addicted to it, wen it stops being used or drank!
At first things couldn't be better for Christine as she starts her program of drinking Aqua Vita every morning and almost overnight she starts to look at least 15 years younger.With her TV rating going sky high and her boyfriend Marc, Joseph Hacker, feeling that he's back in high school when ever he's with her the hammer suddenly drops on Christine when she finds out from Aqua Vita delivery man, Chris McDonald, that the cost for Aqua Vita is a bit too high of a price to pay once you get addicted to it! Something like $5,000.00 for a months supply of the stuff.
With her face looking like a train wreck when ever she's not drinking Aqua Vita Christine slowly loses all her savings by buying it as well as her job, when she's seen without a scarf wrapped around her head in public, at the TV station is when Marc finally realizes what a mess his girlfriend got herself into! In her trying to reverse the aging process with Aqua Vita which in fact ended up accelerating it!
***SPOILERS*** Marc in seeing that Christine is quickly going under both psychically and mentally as well as financially, by losing her TV news anchor spot, then throws caution to the wind together with Christine's supply of Aqua Vita by drinking the last few drops himself in order to put him into the same condition, rapid aging, that she's in. It' wasn't that bad at all in what Marc did in now having Christine get over her hangup of forever looking young with both her and Marc being able to spend their golden years together as senior citizens, in their early forties, without worrying about getting old before their time!
