True Life/Now is a show which follows the real lives of people and tells their stories. In this particular episode named 'Obsessed With the Perfect Booty', we will meet a group of individuals whose sole obsession is to achieve the perfect booty. In this age of social media, where people constantly upload pictures of themselves, a shapely butt has become a symbol of beauty and many people are striving hard to achieve it.

The first person we will meet is 24-year-old Sam, who has spent the last five years working out to get the perfect booty. She has tried every workout and diet plan that has come her way, even injecting herself with B12 vitamins to give her an extra boost. Sam believes that a great butt makes a woman attractive, and that it is worth all the pain and hard work. We will see her struggle with the pressure she puts herself under, including dealing with judgment from others.

Next, we will meet 27-year-old Corey, who had a butt implants surgery that went wrong. Corey's dream of having the perfect booty has turned into a nightmare, for the last year he has been trying to fight an infection that developed after the surgery. The infection has spread to his entire body and the only solution is to completely remove the implants. We will see Corey go through surgery to remove them, which will not only be physically but equally emotionally painful for him.

We will also meet 23-year-old Brittany, a social media influencer who has built her platform around her booty. She shares pictures of herself working out and is always decked up in tight clothes, showing off her booty. Her fans have fueled her obsession with getting the perfect booty, but now Brittany finds it difficult to switch off and focus on other aspects of her life. Brittany faces the harsh reality that success on social media is not long-lasting, and that people will forget about her if she doesn't stay relevant.

Lastly, we will meet 31-year-old Ricardo, a professional fitness trainer who has dedicated his life to helping people achieve their fitness goals. His wife, Wilmarie, has struggled with her weight for the last 5 years and has now decided to undergo a Brazilian butt-lift surgery. Ricardo sets out to make sure his wife goes through the procedure safely. They both understand and have realised that the butt-lift surgery are not a quick fix and it takes time and effort to maintain. Ricardo will help his wife recover and get back to her fitness goals.
