After undergoing the mandatory surgical operation, Shay and her best friend Tally have been transformed into stunning beauties, living in a supposed paradise of endless parties and glamorous custom clothes. Despite the physical perfection and absolute comfort of her new life, Shay cannot shake the unsettling feeling that something is deeply wrong. Her memories of the past are frustratingly hazy, and she suspects that the operation altered much more than just her physical appearance. When she reunites with the Crims, her old rebellious group from Uglyville, flashes of her fiercely independent past begin to resurface. Shay must decide if she is willing to risk her comfortable existence to fight back against the mysterious authorities and reclaim the headstrong identity that was stolen from her.

As Shay bonds with these defiant friends, she begins to question the true cost of perfection and the dark secrets hidden behind the glamorous parties of New Pretty Town. Venturing beyond the monitored borders of the city into the ungoverned wild, she is forced to weigh the comfortable privileges of being Pretty against the raw, dangerous freedom of remaining real.
