Poison Ivy has been on a journey across the country in search of self-discovery (along with seeding spores to achieve her ultimate goal). When she returned to Gotham, and Harley Quinn, she brought along the baggage of new threats along with a new romance in the form of Janet from HR. These seeds are beginning to bloom as Ivy’s parasitic spores return home, and the past and future align in danger.
