Three bored angels decide to grant 58-year old George Gosling his wish; reducing his age by some 30 years! Waking up with the looks of his late 20s once more, George sets about leaving his crotchety wife - it would look very strange to the neighbours, after all - and enrolling in education to fulfil the life he wishes he could have lead.
