Everyone believes they are familiar with Libby Strout, the girl who was once known as "America's Fattest Teen." However, nobody has bothered to look beyond her weight and discover her true identity. She has been gathering the pieces after her mother passed away in the seclusion of her own house, coping with her father's shattered heart as well as her own. Libby is now prepared for whatever life has to give, including high school, making new friends, falling in love, and everything else. I instantly knew the role I wanted to play at MVB High. I want to be the girl who is capable of everything.

Everyone believes they are familiar with Jack Masselin. Sure, he's got swagger, but he's also perfected the difficult art of fitting in and giving people what they want. Nobody is aware of Jack's recent discovery of a secret: he is incapable of identifying faces. He does not even know his own brothers. He is the one who can rebuild and re-engineer everything, yet he is unable to comprehend the inner workings of his own brain. He thus convinces himself to be calm: Act endearing. Laugh aloud. Stay away from people too much.

until he meets Libby. Both Libby and Jack are furious and taken aback when they get entangled in a sadistic high school game that forces them to participate in community service and group counselling. Since people feel less alone the more time they spend together. Because meeting new people may sometimes alter both your and their worlds.
