Eager to grow up, Abigail "Abby" Louise Jensen (Debby Ryan) has been planning for her Sweet 16th birthday party ever since she was a little girl with a list of secret wishes she wants to come true. When the big day finally arrives, she excitedly adds her 16th and final wish to the secret wish list she's been keeping. Then begins the first of many unusual occurrences, each including visits from a peculiar woman, Celeste (Anna Mae Routledge). She first appears as an exterminator when the Jensen's house get overrun with wasps that has been building up for 16 years. The Jensen family are now unable to go back into their house until the wasps are exterminated. Abby's best friend, Jay Kepler (Jean-Luc Bilodeau), appears and offers Abby a jacket to wear over her pyjamas, as she is unable to go back into her house to change. When Abby reaches into Jay's jackets pocket, she finds a birthday present for her from Jay. It is a necklace with a half of a heart saying "BFF". Jay has the other half which he uses a charm on his key ring. As Jay and Abby go to their bus stop, a delivery truck pulls up, and Celeste comes out, dressed as a mail woman and gives a package to Abby. When Abby opens it, she discovers 16 candles and a matchbox.
Her birthday gets a whole lot brighter when Abby realizes that the candles correspond to her 16 wishes on her list and that they're each coming true. She lands the attention of her crush, gets the Ford Mustang she's always dreamed of, she gets back at her lifelong nemesis, Krista Cook (Karissa Tynes), and she is suddenly fashionable, athletic, and popular. She needs the perfect dress and Jay drops his wallet and Krista takes it. Then, they couldn't buy anything and Abby got mad. Abby then makes a wish to be treated like an adult, which results in her not being allowed to attend high school anymore, and no one at school remembers her, not even Jay.
Abby goes to Krista's Sweet 16 and convinces Jay, who also has a crush on her, that they are best friends by showing him the birthday present he gave her which restores his memories of her. However, Jay is unable to help her and can do nothing. Afterwards, Abby finds a loophole through the "rules", seeing as how her last wish was a picture of her crush, glued on with gum, which the rules don't know about.She switches the picture for a picture taken that morning of her and wishes she could go back to the way it was. Her life then goes back to normal, along with some dead wasps in the process. She and Krista become friends after Krista tells Abby why she hates her (Back in the 3rd grade, Abby and Jay made a pact to be best friends forever, but up until that point, Krista and Jay had been best friends). Abby and Krista have a combined Sweet 16 party and Krista and Logan, Abby's former crush, get together. Abby and Krista stop competing and work together to make the person who truly deserves to be Student Body President it: Jay. Abby and Jay kiss before sharing a dance together. Abby says she got everything she wants, Celeste disappears smiling.
