The film is about Molly Singer who in her latter professional career as an attorney has just botched her biggest case due to her inability to let go of her hard partying lifestyle. Rather than firing her, Molly is tasked by her overbearing and controlling boss Brenda to re-enroll at her old alma mater, to befriend her socially awkward son, Elliot, and guide him through an already tumultuous freshman year. Equipped with her quick wit, years of experience and her best friend Paulie, Molly discovers that college has certainly changed since her glory days, and maybe it really is time to move on from the best four years of her life to a new journey
