In a future society where everyone is made "pretty" through surgery at the age of sixteen, Tally Youngblood eagerly awaits her transformation. However, her world is turned upside down when she meets the rebellious Shay, who values individuality over conformity. When Tally is faced with a choice that could expose the dark truth behind the pretty privilege, she must decide between her desire to fit in and her quest for authenticity. As she navigates the powerful forces of society and friendship, Tally's journey reveals the true meaning of beauty and the importance of self-acceptance.
