Reggie has a face disfigurement and learnt to love himself the way he is, while Gary who had never had that problem is obsessed with beauty procedures in his tries to look like a Kardashian. While Gary tries to show Reggie that there is nothing bad in trying to look your best- will Reggie teach him to love himself the way that he is?
Exploring the issues of discrimination surrounding how we look, each episode pairs two people - one obsessed with intense personal vanity and one with a facial disfigurement. They spend time in each other’s lives and understand the differences and similarities between them.
