The year is 1997. In the heart of New York City, a group of 27 people embarks on a weight-loss journey at a fat farm. Led by the eccentric instructor Richardson, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the fitness guru Richard Simmons, the group faces a strict regimen aimed at shedding 15 pounds in just 7 weeks. However, only 6 students fail to meet the target, much to Richardson's dismay. His business crumbles as a result of this unprecedented failure. Fast forward 6 years later, Richardson resurfaces with a vengeance. He begins targeting his former failing students, one by one, exacting a deadly revenge. Detective Jack, once a participant in Richardson's weight-loss program and now a seasoned New York detective, finds himself thrust into the investigation when his chief assigns him the case. As Jack delves deeper into the murders, he realizes that he's facing a formidable adversary who knows his every move. With each victim he identifies, Jack starts connecting the dots back to their shared past at the weight-loss program. He uncovers Richardson's twisted motive behind the killings, driven by his obsession with perfection and his deep-seated grudge against those who failed to meet his standards. In a race against time, Jack must confront his own fears and insecurities, including his fear of heights, to save the woman he loves from becoming Richardson's next victim. With the help of his trusty colleagues and the clues from their weight-loss class photo, Jack navigates a perilous journey to capture Richardson and bring an end to his reign of terror.
