Ella is a good student, but she doesn't stand out at all. That's about to change. Ella gets ill and has to have several weeks off school. When she returns she's lost weight and cut her hair. People notice and say she's looking good - and she loves it. But life at home is stressful. Her dad's left and she's got a lot of work to catch up on. On top of that she's terrified of putting the weight back on. It's becoming an obsession, and it's leading her down a very dangerous path. She needs help, but will she accept it?
