Looks can be deceiving. Take Ellie - pretty, athletic, starting university on a scholarship, and serving as her sister's bridesmaid. Except … Ellie's sister is a bridezilla, her bridesmaid's dress is hideous, her career as a competitive ringette player is over, she's been dumped by her boyfriend, and she still can't shake the deep-seated insecurity leftover from her severe and painful acne. As best-friend Em leaves town for university, she encourages Ellie to learn to ride on Em's trusty horse, Lucas. Can Ellie find the courage to embrace a new sport, new friends, a new love, and a new image of herself?
