The plot of Me revolves around Ben, a quiet and introverted high school teenager who realizes that he has an amazing, one-of-a-kind superpower: the ability to become anyone he touches, gaining their powers as well as their appearance. With no other friends but a sassy boy who gets into trouble with some bullies, a nosy family who can't quite let him thrive, and a mind-blowing new power that starts to reframe his past, Ben's adventures are tussles with acceptance, self-discovery, and moral calamity.
The story starts with Ben, defending his classmate against the school bully Jason. But Jason and his friends turn their attention on Ben and make him retreat to the boys’ room, where, to his shock, he accidentally does use his powers for the first time. Reeling from the changes, Ben discovers that he has inadvertently taken the form of another student. His confusion deepens when even his mother does not recognize him. On his way home, Ben meets Carter, a mysterious girl who explains what’s going on with him and assures him it’s possible to control his newfound abilities with time.
As he tries to process all of this, he enlists his stepsister Max to help him learn to live in a world that has changed overnight. At first skeptical, Max will become his biggest ally, offering help to train and test his transformations. Their bond grows stronger as the two join forces to learn more about Carter, a fellow mutant with a dark history, including a storm and another powerful mutant, Yates, who employed her powers to steal from others and gain their powers in the process.
A shape-shifter similar to Ben, Yates proves a dangerous foe, stealing powers and causing chaos wherever she goes. With Carter's help, Ben and Max uncover a deeper conspiracy surrounding the mutant community and Yates's destructive plans. The siblings and others they know devise a risky strategy to take on Yates, culminating in a tense confrontation during a school event.
In the climactic struggle, Ben outsmarts Yates with his shape-shifting powers; Carter uses her inherited abilities to overcome and bandage the villain. They defeat Yates, restoring peace to the mutant community through teamwork, bravery, and thought. But Ben suddenly starts noticing strange things about his powers, suggesting more challenges to come.
