Seven years ago, the Feno Corporation accidently spilled a chemical in a rural community in Iowa. The town and everyone in it had to be contained as the chemical could spread very easily. The people in the town eventually started calling it Flowertown as a result of the sickly sweet smell that emanated from the residents. One of those residents, Ellie, was caught in the spill when visiting her boyfriend’s family who perished after the spill.
In the present day, weird things start to happen in Flowertown, such as multiple buildings being blown up. Ellie, along with her friend Bing, start to investigate these things, eventually stumbling upon a secret meetup hidden in the town’s newsletter. On the night of the meetup, Ellie goes to location only to find it being raided by Feno security. As she escapes on foot, she makes it to her apartment only to be arrested with Bing for stealing classified documents. Once they reach the compound, they escape once more, making it to the local’s secret base, finding out there, that Feno is up to something. Ellie then goes to retrieve pills she has been taking to use as evidence against Feno when some people are released the next morning. There, she is stopped by her military boyfriend Guy, who tells her about explosives placed around the city. Thinking that Feno is going to blow up Flowertown and blame it on Bing, a paranoid conspiracy theorist, she heads to the medical center where he is at. At the medical center, Bing reveals that he is behind the whole thing working for Feno, and before they release everyone, they are going to blow up Flowertown and place the blame on Ellie. After a struggle, they make it to the boundary of Flowertown, where she is shot. Ellie then wakes up in a hospital bed, where Guy tells her that she will testify against Feno and that Bing got away.
