Teenage girls can be vicious, and even more so in the uncensored online world of the pro-eating disorder community. Chase is a die-hard fan of blogger Hannahrexia889. Hannah's methods may be harsh, but to these partners on a quest for perfection, "skinny is always worth it." While these girls only know each other online, their partnership in starving is strong. The two get closer, in a dysfunctional relationship that culminates in a disastrous night of antics in the city. Chase must realize that her social media celebrity idol Hannah is not really as strong as she seems online. But when your friendship is built on the values of pro-anorexia, "getting better" doesn't always mean what you think.

Jamie is a young man who suffers from both anorexia and bulimia. His memories of being teased for being over-weight coupled with people's treatment of his sudden weight loss lead him to question his decisions for the first time. We are allowed into his reality and given insight into his perspective as he holds everyone at a distance while he examines the details of his disillusioned world. And this allows him to see just how paper thin the reality he has been living in truly is. "Full" is not about overcoming an eating disorder; it is about understanding an eating disorder, and how a young man comes to understand it.
