Gray and his girlfriend Juvia have recovered from a traumatic event they witnessed that almost destroyed the human race. When questioned by a reporter they decide to tell the story.

Their story goes back to a year earlier and it start's with Gray's best friend Natsu a poor young man who works at a flower shop and spends every day being harassed by people, abused by his boss Precht Gaeblog, and the only people who are nice to him is Gray, Juvia, and his co worker Lucy who he's secretly in love with.

One day his greedy boss threatens to have him fired to make cut backs since business is so slow. That is until he finds a strange and interesting Venus fly trap plant. The plant brings in plenty of customers but there's one problem. Unknown to anyone except Natsu, the plant needs blood to survive so to keep the plant alive Natsu cuts his finger and feeds his blood to the plant causing him to be anemic. Gray suspects something's wrong and questions him about it. He soon finds out the plant's secret and insists that Natsu stop feeding it as it is a danger to his health but Natsu having become famous refuses and convinces Gray to keep quiet about it.

When Natsu's health starts to take a bad turn he stops feeding the plant but then it starts talking to him and demands to be fed, promising him anything he wants in return. Meanwhile Lucy is in an abusive relationship with Loke a sadistic and vain man who's obsessed with his looks. Juvia who is her friend, tries to convince her to leave him but Lucy is too afraid to do so and she reveals to Juvia that she secretly loves Natsu and dreams of one day living a simple and happy life with him but makes her promise not to tell because she doesn't think she deserves him.

One night Natsu witnesses Loke beating Lucy which enrages him. The plant convinces him to feed Loke to him to keep him from hurting Lucy any further. Natsu meets Loke somewhere late one night with the intention of shooting him but he can't bring himself to do it however Loke drinks a special dietary drink that had eggs mixed into it which he is highly allergic to and he neglected to read the ingredients on the bottle.

As his throat closes up, he begs Natsu to get him his epipen but he doesn't and Loke suffocates to death. Natsu chops up his dead body and feeds it to the plant. The plant to continues to grow as does Natsu's success and with Loke gone he and Lucy start dating but Precht after hearing the police found Natsu's scarf at the scene of the crime, he suspect's that his employee had something to do with Loke's disappearance. His suspicions are confirmed when he sees Natsu and Lucy kiss, finds blood stains on the floor of his shop, and hears from Gray that Natsu was meeting Loke the night of his disappearance. He confronts Natsu about it and threatens to tell the police unless he gives him the plant.

The plant tells Natsu to get rid of Precht or he'll lose Lucy so Natsu tricks his boss into being eaten by the plant. Afterward Natsu becomes very successful and continues to grow closer with Lucy but suffers from intense guilt and stress from the murders which doesn't go unnoticed by Gray, Juvia, or Lucy. One night when Natsu is asleep the plant calls Juvia and impersonates him asking for help. She goes to the shop but the plant tries to eat her luckily Gray walks by the shop, sees what's happening, and manages to save her in time. When Natsu wakes up Gray and Juvia confront him about the plant and he comes clean about everything. They both beg him to destroy the plant to which he considers but refuses believing it's the only thing winning Lucy's love.

Realizing that they can't get through to Natsu and fearing for their safety, the couple decides to leave town. Juvia worried for Lucy, tries to warn her friend before they leave but Lucy doesn't believe her however she is concerned about Natsu who at the moment is being harassed by the plant as it squals for blood. Lucy walks in on Natsu hysterically threatening to destroy the plant which deepens her worry for him. She slaps some sense into him and when he asks if she would still love him even without his success she replies that she has always loved him. Learning this he decides to kill the plant after he collects the shop's earnings from the bank tomorrow and elope with Lucy who he rushes home.

Shortly after the plant demands to be fed, Natsu agrees to feed him but insists that it be meat from a butcher. He leaves the shop but Lucy worried for him goes to the shop to check on him. The plant reveals that it can speak to Lucy and begs for water. Not sensing danger she agrees but when she gets close enough the plant pull her into it mouth and proceeds to eat her. Natsu returns and manages to pull her out before she's swallowed but she is mortally wounded and before she dies asks Natsu to feed her to it so they can be together. He reluctantly feeds her body to the plant and nearly commits suicide but is stopped by Gray and Juvia who returned to tell him that a gardening company plans to have cuttings of the plant sold worldwide.

Realizing the plant's plan for world domination, Natsu decides that it has to die. He tries shooting it, poisoning it, and cutting it but nothing works. Finally he grabs a machete, goes inside the plant, and begins to hack it's insides to bits. The plant dies from it's internal wounds but not before it eats Natsu. The next day Gray and Juvia visit the shop to search for Natsu but instead they find the plant dead and four flowers resembling Loke, Precht, Lucy, and Natsu who just before they wilt away tell them to get rid of the plant's remains to keep it from regrowing. Gray and Juvia then end their story saying that they burned the plant's remains however they're not sure if there are others like it out there and if they are they warn everyone to: Don't feed the plants.
