In the Jederman family, Holly is the middle child in a trio. Her older sister Vanessa is the pretty
one, and her younger brother Troy is the smart one. Their father Paul is rather clueless,
but luckily Holly has her mother Victoria, who likes dotting on her. The two of them have a very
close relationship, and Holly likes to wear the kaleidoscope her mother gifts her on her necklace.
Unfortunately, Victoria dies of cancer while Holly is still a preteen, and things begin to change.
Holly feels like she's fading without her mother, and she notices it in the way others treat her:
Paul forgets to ask about her day after asking her siblings, and even the teacher at school ignores
her raised hand. By the end of summer, Holly has become completely invisible - her family can't
even see her, and she won't show up in pictures either. Her family stats using her bedroom as
storage, not even noticing she's gone because Holly has effectively disappeared from memory too.
As years pass, Holly learns to adapt. She's gotten an apartment in a building
that does corporate rentals where nobody knows anybody, so she fits right in. She's put up a
sign on the door for deliverymen to leave her orders there without having to talk to her,
and she's also got a job as paparazzi. Thanks to her invisibility, Holly can sneak inside
VIP places and take pictures of celebrities while they're doing something scandalous.
Then she sells these pictures to editor Ron by sending them through texts, but she likes to
hang out at his office to gather information as well. While they still can't see her,
Holly also likes visiting her family. Troy still lives in the old house, although he's moved to
the basement for the view that inspires his visual arts career. Victoria got married, and Paul is now
working in real estate. They get together every Friday for dinner, and Holly shows up as well,
although she leaves quickly because it's a rather depressing affair. There are parts of being
invisible that Holly likes, like being able to go everywhere, seeing everything, and not needing to
worry about manners, clothes, or shame. The worst part however, is not being part of anything. One
night, Holly is following another celebrity into a bar when she's suddenly grabbed by bouncer Shayne,
who surprisingly can see her. Holly has hundreds of questions for him, but Shayne ignores her and
just does his job by kicking her out. The next day, Holly visits her mother's grave and remembers
Victoria's promise saying she'll always be with her daughter in spirit. Sometime later, Holly
realizes she's seen the bouncer's face before and checks the tabloid she works for - indeed,
Shayne had been one of the many men she's caught cheating on camera. Doing some internet research,
Holly learns the basics about him: Shayne used to be a famous MMA fighter and world champion,
he even dated popular actress and supermodel Julianna. But once Holly made those pictures go
viral, the couple broke up, Shayne's fans turned against him and his life spiraled out of control.
After being arrested for DUI, his career finally came to an end after losing the championship to
fellow fighter Matae. Feeling awful for ruining Shayne's life, Holly goes to the bar again to
apologize to him and offers to make it up to him by cleaning his reputation. Shayne's furious with
her and doesn't want her anywhere near him, but Holly convinces him to give her at least five
minutes to show her skills. A moment later, Shayne meets with his manager to discuss an incoming
event, and Holly freaks him out a bit by sitting next to the manager and reading his text messages.
Shayne doesn't understand what's going on but plays along because Holly points out all the
ways the manager is lying, including trying to pay Shayne less than what the event offers. After
Shayne demands to be paid what he deserves and reaches an agreement, he leaves the bar to have
a talk with Holly, who explains she's invisible. Shayne still doesn't believe her, so Holly decides
to prove it by stepping in front of an oncoming cab. She almost gets hit, but Shayne pushes her
out of the way just in time and finally believes her when the driver notices him but not her.
It seems Shayne is the only person that can see her in the entire world, but he doesn't know what
to do about it, thus Holly confesses she thinks they're connected and should help each other.
Shayne invites Holly to come by his apartment later to have a talk, and Holly visits in the
morning, ignoring Shayne's three-legged dog because animals can't see her either.
Then, Holly explains his theory: she wasn't always invisible, and Shayne wasn't always unpopular,
so she thinks that by helping him she may regain her visibility as well.
Shayne decides to tell her a bit of his story, sharing that his stepfather kicked him out when
he was a teen and how he found his calling in fighting while defending himself from bullies.
In fact, he's still fighting nowadays, just not professionally. Holly goes to see his next fight
at a small local gathering and finds it rather barbaric, especially since Shayne is only paid
three hundred dollars for it. This inspires Shayne to explain a passion behind the sport that Holly
can't see, but he does agree when she says he needs to get better fights in bigger venues.
The problem is that nobody important wants to fight him because he doesn't sell tickets,
but Holly promises to take care of that. When she returns home, Holly researches the most popular
fighters and finds out Suarez has been accused of using steroids. By sneaking into his house,
she manages to take a picture of his pill bottle and sends it to him in order to blackmail him.
Afterward, Holly visits Shayne and while waiting for an important call, they bond while she shares
some stories about her mother. Their conversation is interrupted by Shayne's manager calling him
with big news: Suarez has accepted to fight Shayne in six weeks thanks to Holly's plan. The following
days, while his manager promotes the fight on the radio, Shayne works hard on his training and Holly
takes the chance to take some pictures of him for publicity. She would love to go see the fight,
but she doesn't do well in crowds - last time she tried, she got badly hurt. Shayne thinks that if
she's going to watch the fight on tv she should at least do it at his apartment, and Holly accepts.
The night of the event, Shayne surprises everyone by winning, although his manager pays him less
than promised under the excuse of taxes. After the fight, a reporter is shocked to see Shayne
isn't going out to celebrate, but Shayne corrects him by saying he's celebrating in his own way.
He returns to the apartment and, after grabbing some ice cream and his dog,
Shayne invites Holly to the roof because it has an amazing view. He thanks Holly for her support
but also wonders if she's real, because he knows fighters sometimes begin seeing things after too
many hits to the head. Holly is insulted by this dismissal of her persona, so Shayne clarifies he
does want her to be real, and proves it by kissing her. At that moment, the reporter finds them and
takes a picture of them before running away, but they decide to let him go because Holly can't show
up in the photograph. Then, the couple continues making out, and Shayne gives Holly her first time.
The next day, Holly sees the newspaper and discovers with glee that she does appear in
the picture, although luckily the lack of light protects her identity. Meanwhile, Shayne is at
a press conference with his next opponent, Bones. Shayne confirms he's fired his manager when he's
asked about it, but when the subject of the girl in the picture comes up, he dodges the question.
After the conference is over, Holly follows Bones to his car and sends him some texts to
let him know she has proof he's spent the night with a minor. To keep her silence,
Bones accepts to lose the fight against Shayne on purpose. In the evening, Holly picks up Shayne
at the bar to celebrate her appearance in the picture, which means she's slowly coming back.
Their date is interrupted by a call from Juliana, who congratulates Shayne on his victory and wishes
him good luck for the oncoming fight. She sounds genuinely happy for him, but Holly thinks she's
acting - in her eyes, it's obvious that Juliana's contacting him again because he's winning,
otherwise she wouldn't have cared. Shayne doesn't like this attitude of hers,
even if Holly swears she's just looking out for him. On the day of the fight, Shayne beats Bones
easily thanks to Holly's meddling. Now that he's in everyone's mouths again, Holly tries to send
his training pictures to Ron, but he doesn't think they're scandalous enough to publish.
Then Holly changes tactics and invents a rumor saying Matae has accepted to rematch Shayne.
After so many years of trustworthy information, Ron believes her and publishes the story.
The next day, Matae receives a call from his manager to arrange the fight - Matae doesn't
want to rematch someone he already beat, but with the story out there, his manager leaves
him no choice if they want to stay on the public's good graces. Holly sneaks into Matae's house to
find something she can use for blackmail, but unfortunately, Matae is clean. Later, Holly
visits her sister and discovers she's pregnant, but for some reason she won't tell her husband,
causing Holly to believe there's an affair going on. In the evening, Ron sends Holly to
a bar where Juliana has been seen having a date to get some pictures. However when she's there,
Holly is shocked to see that Juliana is having a drink with Shayne and holding his hand.
Furious, Holly snaps at him before leaving the building, and Shayne goes after her to explain.
Holly is important to him, but he and Juliana have a history together. And while Holly is
fun to hang out with, to the rest of the world she isn't real, and Shayne doesn't like looking
crazy in public. Holly is done with him, which works just fine because she couldn't
find anything on Matae anyway, and this is how Shayne finds out she's been fixing his fights.
Furious at the lack of trust and having been made into a fraud, Shayne sends Holly away.
Holly goes back to his regular paparazzi job and tries her best to ignore the news when they show
Shayne has gotten back together with Juliana. A few days later, while Holly is getting drunk at
her apartment, Shayne surprises her with a visit because he feels he needs to confess something.
The pictures Holly had taken of Shayne cheating hadn't been the reason why he and Juliana broke
up or why he lost the fight. When Shayne's career exploded, he thought he didn't have
to work anymore and got lazy. Juliana and he were both cheating on each other all the time,
and when things finally fell apart because of the pictures, Shayne wasn't able to handle it.
Holly realizes this was never her fault, which explains why it didn't bring her visibility back.
Shayne wants to make it up to her so Holly tries to kiss him, but Shayne pushes her away,
explaining he wants to be a better man now and cheating is out of the question.
He also thinks Holly needs to look at what happened to her in a new light and face the truth.
Insulted by the implication she wants her life to be like this, Holly kicks Shayne
out and throws a tantrum, breaking her mother's kaleidoscope in the process. The next morning,
Holly gets terribly upset when she discovers she can't see herself in the mirror anymore.
Desperate for answers, he goes to see Shayne at the gym, but he can't see her anymore either.
While Holly wanders around the city without knowing what to do, Shayne is visited by Juliana,
who is glad to see him training because she doesn't date losers. She swears that comment
it's just a joke, but Shayne starts to doubt her intentions and wonders if she would've called him
if he hadn't been raising to fame again. Back to Holly, she begins to think she may not have much
time left before disappearing for good and decides to visit her family one last time to say goodbye.
First it's Vanessa, who still hasn't told her husband about the pregnancy. Holly decides to
kick the trash can to reveal the pregnancy test, and her brother-in-law is delighted to see they'll
have a baby, but Vanessa is scared. All her life she's been nothing but a pretty face and
her mom played favorites with another sibling, so she doesn't feel worthy to be a mother. Her
husband comforts her and promises they'll be great parents, but Holly is left in shock at
these confessions because she never saw this side of her sister before. Next, Holly visits Troy and
takes a look at the movie he's making, which she decides it's quite good. When Troy's crush walks
by the window, Holly rushes outside and makes her trip, causing Troy to come out too to help.
Now he finally gets to talk to the girl he likes, and Holly goes back inside to visit Paul.
She can't help wondering why her dad never dates and why he works this much when he hates it. She
also discovers a bunch of sleeping pills and three pictures of kaleidoscope art, which means Paul
never got over his wife. Afterward, Holly walks with Paul to the cemetery as she realizes Shayne
had been right: she hadn't been seeing things the right way. Losing Victoria didn't happen
to only her, it happened to her siblings and father too. They've been hurting all this time,
and Holly had been so single-minded about her own loss that she never reached out to her family,
expecting them to come to comfort her instead. She's never been there for anybody else,
and now it's time to fix that. After apologizing to her father, Holly takes the bus and goes to
see Shayne's match against Matae, which is a risk because it means joining a crowd. Shayne
isn't doing well so Holly sneaks into the ring to support him, holding his hand as she promises
she's here for him no matter what. At that moment, Shayne finally gets to see her again, but so does
everyone else in the audience, including Juliana. Holly hasn't noticed though, and she stays outside
the cage to keep cheering on Shayne until security kicks her out. Shayne finishes the match without
her, and unfortunately, he loses only because of a tiny difference in points. After the match,
Juliana shows Shayne her sympathy but also lets him go see Holly. Shayne hurries to the hallway
and tells security Holly is with him, hugging her after the men leave. Holly admits Shayne
had been right about her life, and in return, Shayne admits she had been right about Juliana,
so he broke up with her - which means now they can kiss again. A few days later, Holly surprises
her dad with a visit. Paul finally sees her again, thus father and daughter reunite with a warm hug.
