Charlie, a morbidly obese and reclusive English instructor, teaches online writing classes but keeps his webcam turned off because he is self-conscious about his physical appearance. Liz, his nurse and only friend, advises him to go to the hospital because he is at high risk of congestive heart failure, but Charlie claims he cannot afford medical care. Thomas, a New Life Church missionary who wants Charlie to be saved, also pays him a visit. Charlie orders pizza on a regular basis, following a routine with delivery driver Dan, who delivers the pizza and collects payment from the mailbox without the two ever interacting face to face.
Charlie wishes to re-establish contact with Ellie, his estranged teenage daughter, whom he has not seen in eight years. Charlie offers her the $120,000 in his bank account if she agrees
