The story follows Bianca (Parenthood's Mae Whitman), a high school senior whose world is turned upside down when she discovers she's been labeled her social group's Duff (designated ugly fat friend), a sidekick of sorts to her prettier, more popular friends (Skyler Samuels & Bianca Santos). She asks her jock neighbor (Robbie Amell) to give her a social makeover so that she can ask out the object of her unrequited affections (Eversman). Bianca is determined to reinvent herself, enlisting her fellow DUFFs in a scheme to overthrow Madison (Bella Thorne), the school's evil queen.
