Synopsis:

A dying womans wish brings six estranged friends together in the Montana wilderness. Lucy has battled obesity her entire life and with the little time she has left, she wants to spend a final weekend together with her college friends like she once remembered. Upon arriving, Lucys friends soon discover the reality of the situation isnt what they had expected. On the flip side, Lucy soon realizes her friends are now a far cry from whom she had remembered and that her final wish wasnt the best of ideas after all. The group soon finds themselves on an arduous four day hike, stripped of modern conveniences and with no place to hide. The winding uphill trail brings to surface everyones inner demons and fears, with each member of the group taking something away from the adventure that they could never have imagined.

Former college chums gather for what they think is their fat friend's dying last days, but they instead find her celebrating the last few days before reaching her target weight loss at a mountain lodge with a subsequent hiking trip planned for them all. Though it's the woman's long-held dream journey that she wanted to take with her best friends, the others, largely, can't get over the feeling of being duped, with everyone's emotional baggage breaking out awkwardly all along their forced and uncomfortable three-day hike back to civilization.

Lucy has always used food to escape life's problems, but when this self-titled 'fat friend' lures her group of old college buddies to the Montana wilderness, she reveals a new self - skinny, beautiful and still flawed.
