At the camp, Gerry forms close friendships with other overweight boys, including the mischievous Josh and the lovable Roy. They are all encouraged by the camp's owners, Pat and Julie, who promote a message of self-acceptance and positive body image.
However, their idyllic summer is disrupted when Tony Perkis, a fitness and weight loss guru, buys the camp with the intention of turning it into a boot camp for overweight kids.
