In Savannah, Georgia, Ruby Gettinger lives in a small two-bedroom house with her dogs, Foxey and Lucey, her nephew Jim and old friend Jeff.

Ruby introduces herself and establishes the central premise of the show: at 227 kg's she suffers from life-threatening obesity and it has interfered with her many dreams. She calls food her addiction, "the Beast" and wants to defeat it but something always stops her.

After a meeting with her doctor who tells her she will die if she doesn't lose weight, Ruby resolves that she is going to do whatever is necessary to free herself.

The show introduces Ruby's best girlfriend Georgia who epitomizes a colourful and rich southern lifestyle - but also introduces food and habits that are dangerous for Ruby.

Los Angeles starlett Brittany Daniels is another friend of Ruby's who arrives to support her change in lifestyle. To save her life, Ruby assembles a team of experts to help her lose the weight: a doctor, a dietician, trainers and a psychiatrist.

After an emotional visit to her therapist, Ruby realizes that her quest for health may also involve an emotional and psychological journey as well as a change in diet and exercise. She is determined to make her dream of health come true - whatever the sacrifice.
