As the American obesity epidemic worsens, a radical government program designed to curtail the problem ends up creating a new underclass of overweight citizens. Through propaganda, surveillance, and forcible restriction, all remaining heavy Americans are humiliated and devalued.
This is the story Shelley, a young woman who loses everything due to her size. When all hope is lost, she finds comfort and redemption in some unlikely company. Shelley lends her creativity to her new group of friends as they embark on a theatrical battle against an oppressive government initiative which will go to unfathomable lengths to wipe out obesity. In her struggle, Shelley grows in her understanding of herself as a person of size, passion, and heart.
