Twenty-four-year-old Ellen Homes is invisible to most people, which is how she likes it. Brutally abused as a child by her mother and foster parents, Ellen uses her obesity and a deep scar above her left eye as excuses to hide from the world. Everything changes when she meets Temerity and starts participating in life instead of simply observing it. Temerity is Ellen's age and familiar with invisibility because she's blind. The women become fast friends as they try to improve the lives of Ellen's needy coworker and neighbors. Placing themselves in delicate, and sometimes even dangerous, situations, the women work together helping others while Ellen gains the confidence to stand up for herself and be seen.
