Shannon McFarland, splendida top model, dalla vita ha avuto tutto quello che si può desiderare: l'amore, la carriera, un'amicizia sincera. La sua esistenza viene però sconvolta quando, mentre sta guidando la sua auto, una misteriosa fucilata la raggiunge al volto, lasciandola orrendamente sfigurata e incapace di parlare. E da affascinante centro di attrazione Shannon si ritrova a essere un mostro invisibile, evitato da tutti, tradita dal fidanzato Manus e dall'amica del cuore, Evie. Ma tutto cambia quando in ospedale Shannon fa conoscenza con la Principessa Brandy Alexander, cui manca ancora solo un intervento chirurgico per diventare una vera donna. Brandy non solo la trascinerà in un viaggio delirante con il proposito di aiutarla a vendicarsi di Evie e di Manus, ma soprattutto le spiegherà come reinventare se stessa. E le insegnerà che niente e nessuno è mai quello che sembra a prima vista...
