Synopsis
They say you can't pick your parents, but Sarah would like nothing more than to trade her bizarre family for one that's more well-behaved, which she does by flipping a coin that lets her go into an alternate dimension where she has a perfect family, one that would love to have a girl like her for lunch. Unfortunately for Sarah, she's going to be the main course.
