Viral Beauty follows the journey of Marsha Day, a brash overweight millennial who posts a controversial dating ad online in which she seeks a rich, handsome, Ivy League-educated guy. Perez Hilton, playing himself, introduces her video to a mass audience and Marsha skyrockets to online fame as a target of vicious cyber bullying over her appearance. As she defends herself against numerous haters, she gains a cult following and lucrative brand endorsement deals begin pouring in, making her a viral hit. With her career soaring, Marsha begins an exciting but rocky relationship with a handsome fitness entrepreneur, who is more than meets the eye.
