Plot: Manhattan housewife Alice Tate seems to have it all - a smart apartment, two nice kids and a handsome husband with a high IQ and a high income. But for Alice, there's still something missing. Bored with her bigshot friends, the facelifts and the pedicures, she is searching for something more meaningful from life. Under the influence of a series of magical herbs from her Chinese healer Dr. Yang, Alice begins a remarkable journey of self discovery, a journey on which she comes face to face with her real needs, her desires, her limits and her gifts. Alice Tate (Mia Farrow) is a rich Manhattan wife who spends her days shopping, getting pedicures, going to the salon, working out with her personal trainer, and seeing her chiropractor. But when she can't get rid of her back pain, she goes to an Asian herbalist (the wonderful Keye Luke, in his final performance) who gives her special herbs to cure what's really ailing her. Reluctantly, she takes these magical potions, which open up a whole new world for her, releasing her inner self, making her invisible, and allowing her to see dead ex-boyfriends. She begins to regret having given up her career in the theater and considers becoming a writer. Meanwhile, she is getting involved in a serious flirtation with Joe Ruffalo (Joe Mantegna),
