It's 1967 in New York City's Greenwich Village. Chester, a free-spirited college dropout, spends his days getting high and exploring the counterculture scene. But when a strange new drug starts turning people into colorful, fluttering creatures, Chester must snap out of his haze and team up with a motley crew of misfits to uncover the source of the "Butterfly Plague" before it spreads across the city. With the clock ticking, Chester finds himself in a mind-bending adventure that mixes absurdist humor, alien invasion, and the universal human need to find purpose and connection.
