Storyline:
Lolly Blanchard has come to the conclusion that her life has not turned out quite the way she wanted. She works at the family diner in Lakeville, MN. Her father, Marty, has kept it exactly the way it was when his wife, Lolly’s mother, Irene, passed as her legacy. Lolly always dreamed of opening her own restaurant featuring her own creations, Marty who will not allow her to make any changes to the menu at the diner. She has a slightly strained relationship with her younger sister Daphne, who has a degree in Marketing but wants to leave Lakeville to work as a yogi halfway around the world. But arguably her biggest regret is her relationship with long time next door neighbor Rory Shaw, the two who began dating after he was there for her when Irene passed. She ended up pushing him away when he decided to pursue his dream to get a degree in Sports Medicine at Duke, he who ended up marrying someone else and working as the team doctor for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Now divorced, Rory is back in Lakeville to visit his parents who still live next door, with he and Lolly still seeming to have nothing to say to each other, for Lolly in feeling guilty about her part in their breakup. Watching from the sidelines, Lolly’s maternal Aunt Gert, who has always had a somewhat fantastical side to her, believes it’s time to give Lolly a chance to see what her life could have been and what it could be. She has four magical lemon drops, Lolly to eat one before she goes to sleep mentioning one thing she would have wanted instead in her life, she spending the next full day living that alternate life with all its memories before waking up the next day returning to her current life. The fourth and last lemon drop, if she chooses to eat it, will give her any one of the three alternate lives as her path forward with then no memory of the other two or her current life. After getting over the shock of the lemon drops doing what Aunt Gert said, Lolly will have to decide if the fourth lemon drop is the way to get out of her funk to the life she really wants.
