Synopsis

Hildy Caldwell splurges on a summer rental on Long Beach Island, where she hopes the wind might blow a handsome man her way. Instead, she finds a bottle with a 2,000-year-old genie inside. Magic and mayhem follow, along with what Hildy's been wishing for: a meeting with the man she has never stopped loving.
