What if you could trade yourself in for a newer model?

Mimi is forty-something, frustrated with men, fed up with her reflection, and convinced that life would be better if she could simply become someone else.

Enter B.A.B.Y.—Buy A Better You—a revolutionary service offering the ultimate personal makeover: a completely new body.

With a slick salesman, an outrageously enthusiastic announcer, and a showroom filled with picture-perfect replacements, Mimi is about to discover that finding the perfect woman may be considerably more complicated than she imagined.

Funny, irreverent, and unexpectedly touching, B.A.B.Y. is a satirical comedy about aging, beauty, relationships, and discovering that the best version of yourself might just be the one you've had all along.
