In the tradition of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the action comedy New York Minute follows one monumental day in the lives of 17-year-old sisters Jane and Roxanne Ryan (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen), adversaries who begrudgingly journey together from their Long Island home to New York City. Roxy's and Jane's plans go wildly awry when a mix-up involving Jane's precious day planner lands them in the middle of a shady black market transaction. Pursued by an overzealous truant officer (Eugene Levy) and accused of kidnapping a Senator's dog, the Ryans must find a way to work together to thwart the forces threatening to jeopardize Jane's college dreams and ship Roxy off to a convent school.
