The Switched Family McMillan: TRANSGENDER TRANSFORMATION

Rick and Heather McMillan’s marriage teeters on the edge. Heather feels unheard, while Rick is drowning under the pressures of work and unresolved family tensions. Their children, Don and Jenna, are caught in their own struggles—Jenna plots a petty revenge, while Don’s empathy for his sister is tangled with his own insecurities.

Desperate for solutions, Heather and Rick seek unconventional therapy with Dr. Hilary Kirkland, whose program offers a radical approach to a mind-swapping experiment.

In the secretive town of Patience, Rick and Heather swap bodies for six months, forcing them to walk in each other’s shoes—literally.
