Labonya, a burns survivor lacking in confidence, is joined by a group of strangers who have all been through the same experience.

Will spending time with people just like her help her to build the confidence to see past her burns and overcome her insecurities about relationships?

26-year-old Labonya suffered burns all over her body and face after an accident with an oil lamp as a child. Severely bullied at school, she has never truly accepted what happened to her.
