[2] A severely obese high schooler from Scottsdale, Arizona nicknamed "Butter" is becoming increasingly suicidal by the day.

Butter's only joys in life besides eating are playing the saxophone at a jazz club with his music teacher, Professor Dunn, and chatting online with his crush, Anna McGinn, while he poses as a stranger named "JP".

Butter is an only child with an overprotective mother, Marian, a real estate agent who enables her son's unhealthy eating habits, while his father, Frank, is a former football captain, distant and disillusioned after a freak accident left him blind in one eye.

This makes him quickly popular in school, and suggestions for his final menu begin piling up on his webpage.

To everyone's horror, Butter undergoes an anaphylactic shock upon eating strawberries — being knowingly allergic — and Anna calls emergency services.

His parents grow closer to him and Marian ceases her enabling behavior by serving him healthier meals.
