The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of obesity. Pretty Ugly People tells the comedic story of Lucy, a newly svelte young lady (thanks to the help of gastric bypass surgery) who tricks her old college friends to get back together for a 4-day camping trip so she can show off her new self and finally feel a part of the group. However, as she learns, the idyllic lives she thought her friends would have are actually conflicted and confused. Unexpectantly, Lucy’s arduous hike morphs into an unlikely reawakening of sorts that results in strengthened friendships and self-acceptance.
