A comedic ensemble reunion story that uses weight loss and body transformation as a lens to explore friendship, identity, and the gap between external change and internal growth.

Lucy has always used food to escape life's problems, but when this self-titled "fat friend" lures her group of old college buddies to the Montana wilderness, she reveals a new self - skinny, beautiful and still flawed.
