A popular student athlete, Aly (Cuoco) always planned on getting into college by landing a softball scholarship. But when a sports injury leaves her sidelined, Aly decides to enter a documentary film contest in hopes of winning the prize money to pay for college. Convinced that her overweight younger brother Adam and mother Madelyn (Rhea) use their weight as an excuse for their struggles in life, Aly arms herself with a fat suit and a hidden camera, enrolls at a rival high school, and attempts to prove that personality can outshine physical appearance. But Aly’s confidence is quickly shattered when she is teased, mocked and harrassed--a harrowing experience that forces her to recognize how intolerant she has been of her own family’s weight issues.
