The Broadhurst sisters, book editor Emily and stay-at-home wife and mother Jill, are suffering severe cases of the-grass-is-always-greener syndrome. So when Melbourne Cup Day rolls around, they decide to have an each way bet by trading places. The result? An elusive pregnancy test, vegetable-flavoured punch, flying carpet bowls, a predatory femme fatale, a foul-mouthed three yaer old, and argumentive and accident-prone teenagers.

Spend a madcap Melbourne Cup with the Broadhursts, and find out if the race that stops the nation can get their lives back on track.
