Quick Synopsis
A 13-year-old boy visits a carnival where he uses a fortune-telling machine to wish he could be grown up. The next morning, he wakes up to find that his wish has come true: his body has transformed into that of an adult, but his mind remains that of a young teenager. As he navigates this sudden change, he struggles to adjust to adult responsibilities, such as finding a job and experiencing his first romantic relationship, all while trying to maintain his youthful perspective in an adult world.
Detailed Synopsis of Big
