At the beginning of winter, in a posh enclave where leisure and money know no bounds, a golf club hires an unscrupulous Multinational to genetically modify its turf so that it can be open year-round. The water on Peacock Island becomes contaminated with a "revolutionary" fertilizer that melts the snow, but turns its inhabitants into mutants. Transformed by this intelligent molecule, the mutants' mission is to expand the perfect lawn throughout the island while their bodies decompose into grass. 15-year-old André witnesses the outbreak of the epidemic that leaves him an orphan. Horrified, he fights for his survival and that of his little sister, Annie, when he meets Dan, a 50-year-old security guard and wannabe survivalist. Dan has taken shelter in an upscale grocery store where he hides his infected 20-year-old daughter Patricia in a refrigerator. He is convinced an antidote can be found. In an effort to increase his ratings, a Trash-Radio host encourages the population to be wary of the victims and pushes the government to eliminate them while the occult and sprawling forces of the Multinational seek to erase any trace of its involvement. As the clock ticks, André and Dan search for answers. In a quest that leads them and their respective protégés from the island's Water Treatment Plant to the Golf Clubhouse -- the unlikely quartet will have to face zombies at every corner and face off with mercenary twins sent by the Multinational to eliminate all traces of the cursed fertilizer. But this will not happen without a hitch...
