Dominick Di Napoli is an overweight man who cheerfully eats his way through every day. The death of an obese cousin shocks the family and soon has Dom's emotional sister hounding him to lose weight.

Obese Dominick DiNapoli gets a wake-up call when his rotund cousin dies at a young age. He decides that now is the time to shed some pounds, so he joins a weight loss group called Chubby Checkers. But a lack of willpower and an obsession with food prevents Dominick from sticking to any kind of diet; in fact, he often embarks on eating binges to satisfy his ample appetite. Unable to lose weight, Dominick's negative feelings about his body begin to change. As a result, despite the health risks, Dominick begins to accept himself for who he is, not for what he looks like.
