Samantha dies on the job as an airport security officer and wakes up inside a novel as the 200-pound wife everyone mocks. Her husband Louis keeps his distance, and her five-year-old son Aaron has been written off as slow.
A weight-loss system gives her a way to fight back, but the real weapon is Aaron, who sees things nobody else can, including where people actually come from. When he points at the family's cherished Aunt Lillian and names her true origin, Samantha crashes the banquet to say it out loud. Now the household that laughed at her has to answer for what it hid.
