The film focuses on a high school senior named Bianca Piper (Mae Whitman) who discovers that she has been labeled as the DUFF by her friends, Jess (Skyler Samuels) and Casey (Bianca Santos).

She soon learns that the DUFF is the person in a group of friends who is perceived as the least attractive and approachable. The DUFF serves as a gateway to the more popular friends, and Bianca's two closest friends admit to using her as a DUFF to make themselves look better.
