Nebojácná dívka Willowdean Dickson - Dumplin, hvězdné texaské noci, cukroví a písně Dolly Parton si získají vaše srdce. Dumplin má nadváhu a nejbezpečněji se cítí doma, i když je přemlouvána svou matkou, bývalou královnou krásy, aby začala žít. Její myšlenky se ubírají jediným směrem, obléct si na sebe bikiny, tak jako její nejlepší kamarádka, krásná Ellen. Will začne pracoval v Harpy’s, místním fast foodu. Zde potká studenta Boa, bývalého skvělého atleta. Není žádným překvapením, že jí Bo přitahuje. Ale je velmi překvapena, když zjistí, že je to vzájemné. Ale namísto, aby si užívala vztahu s Boem, Will začne o sobě pochybovat. Podnikne nejděsivější věc, kterou si můžete představit: přihlásí se do soutěže Miss Blue Bonnet Pageant a spolu s několika podobnými dívkami touží dokázat světu, že i děvčata se silnější postavou mají právo být vidět, stejně jako každá hubená holka. Tím šokuje celé Clover City – a možná nejvíc sebe sama.

      Cindy loves shoes. A well-placed bow or a chic stacked heel is her form of self-expression. As a fashion-obsessed plus-size woman, she can never find designer clothes that work on her body, but a special pair of shoes always fits just right. With a shiny new design degree but no job in sight, Cindy moves back in with her stepmother, Erica Tremaine, the executive producer of the world's biggest dating reality show. When a contestant on Before Midnight bows out at the last minute, Cindy is thrust into the spotlight. Showcasing her killer shoe collection on network TV seems like a great way to jump-start her career. And, while she's at it, why not go on a few lavish dates with an eligible suitor? But being the first and only plus-size contestant on Before Midnight turns her into a viral sensation--and a body-positivity icon--overnight. Even harder to believe? She can actually see herself falling for this Prince Charming. To make it to the end, despite the fans, the haters, and a house full of fellow contestants she's not sure she can trust, Cindy will have to take a leap of faith and hope her heels--and her heart--don't break in the process
