Three fourteen-year-old Ukrainian kids - overweight VARYA and SASHA and skinny, nerdy ZEUS (with a crush on Varya) - find themselves in the dimension of Measurland. It is a world entirely dominated by the culture of consumption. A prophecy announces the appearance of the three long-awaited Magi destined to save the country from the tyranny of the Corporation. At a beauty pageant of animated food, the kids meet the goddess of information VALENTINA and have to flee from the sudden apparition of the Corporation's head D. TOTT. Unexpectedly, Zeus bounces back a lightning bolt shot at him from a weapon. A few teenagers, members of the underground resistance group AntiComm, help the newcomers escape and introduce them to THE KEEPER OF THE RHOMBUS - a celestial artifact above Measurland. The three Ukrainians take part in a sabotage raid at a weight-loss industry expo. There, they see the Scales of Harmony, which are said to grant wishes only if made by a true balanced person. Zeus trains his power to catch and deflect lightning in order to be able to defend himself, his new friends, and Varya, who has fallen in love with one of the AntiComm boys. The Keeper of the Rhombus informs them that both the Corporation and AntiComm are looking for a mysterious Pyramid. Its possession gives one the eternal power over Measurland. It is also likely that the three are the Magi who will be able to find it. Through trial and error, the group finds out that Varya can communicate with creatures and Sasha sees things that are normally hidden from people. To make it possible for the people of Measurland to feel for the first time the taste of food without magical tastifiers, the group raids a tastifier factory. All these events are observed by GOD. After an argument with the Keeper, the AntiComm invites the three to see a gorging match, where they become convinced that the people of Measurland are dying of obesity and the Corporation is hiding it. After this they raid a castle, where the group liberates hostages from a dungeon. Under threat of death, Zeus manages to raise a shock wave that sweeps away the enemy forces. The kids flee the castle on a floating pink Island of Love. The Infogoddess reminds the three about the Scales that grant wishes. To be weighed on them, Varya and Sasha think that they must lose 60 pounds each. To choose a method of getting into shape, they watch The Extreme Willpower Show and attend a Festival of weight-loss unions. They resolve to stop eating and take motivation pills but lapse after just one day and devour all the healthy food at AntiComm. To replenish supplies, the kids have to go to the Gormandarium superstore, where all food is synthetic. Gorging on it nightly, away from Zeus' eyes, Varya and Sasha gain weight. The others record their binges with a hidden camera. Seeing herself on screen, Varya sinks into depression. Meanwhile, God and the DEVIL meet to sum up the provisional results of their bet. The devil turns the sin of Gluttony into hunger and upsets the balance in the world. The three teenagers then make peace and agree that it is all hunger's fault. They are immediately teleported into the castle of a mysterious wizard. He sends Varya into the body of her great-grandmother in 1933, the time of the Great Famine in Ukraine. Varya survives her dangerous adventures in Ukraine's past and returns back to present. The mysterious wizard turns out to be HUNGER himself. The devil has imprisoned him in the castle and instead unleashed the world Hunger's cunning rival APPETITE, adored by people, routinely putting themselves at risk of obesity. Varya is now certain that Hunger is innocent. A Tablet that she won from death in 1933 is evidence that they are indeed the chosen ones who will liberate Measurland.
