In Philadelphia, power couple and rising social media stars, Dejua and Antwon, were both born with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Also known as brittle bone disease, the condition means their bones are "like glass" and they estimate that, between them, they have suffered "painful" breaks over 600 times. We follow the couple as they navigate the exciting but perilous process of pregnancy and birth of their first child. A process that has hugely increased risk factors with a mother with OI. Meanwhile, in Cape Town, South Africa, entrepreneur and respected skater Robert, was born with sacral agenesis - a condition where the lower part of the spine doesn't form properly - or, as he describes it: "My spine is not connected to my hips." Robert's legs were underdeveloped at birth as a result, but he quickly learnt to use his hands to walk around and climb up and down to reach things. We follow Rob as he chases his pro skating dreams in spite of his condition. In California, Yesi, 35, who is 2 ft 11 inches, was born with diastrophic dysplasia, a rare type of dwarfism. She has a younger sister with the same condition, Celia, who is 29 and 3 ft 3". We follow the sisters as they prove that their limitations and differences won't stop them living normal lives with full time professions as well as 'normal sized' romantic partners.
