Synopsis:

Two students from the future are working on their school project to create a functioning robot plant to replace the plants that used to naturally live outside but were killed for the sake of technology and making room for the ‘future’. Kev, one of the students, is lazy and decides that it would be easier to find an already functioning plant and attach it to their project since it would save them time and effort. His best friend and project teammate, Screw, agrees out of loyalty but isn’t entirely on board with the idea. It turns out to be a real natural plant that survived the destruction of its species that Kev found on the outskirts of their town where he wasn’t supposed to be. After its attached to a robotic plant adapter, it uses the technology within the device to evolve itself into a monster that attacks one student by ripping its arm off and chases the other students around the school in vengeance for them killing its entire species. As it chases them it begins building its vines into the walls and through the school so it can attack everyone at once as well as transport itself to wherever it wants to be and see everything all at once. Kev and Screw try their best to defeat it in different ways. First by freezing it with a chargeable fire extinguisher that needs to be plugged in to use, then electrocuting it with a water cooler and then slicing it in half with a knife from the kitchen, but no matter what they try to use to get rid of it, it finds a new way to evolve and grow past the threats its given. It grows itself out to get away from the fire extinguisher’s spray, heals itself by becoming a plant species that’s unbothered by electricity and regrows out of its own corpse like fungi. Eventually when they’re cornered and the plant is ready to kill them, Screw accidentally leads the plant to an oven where the plant switches it on by accident. Since its vines are completely woven through all parts of the school, the flames inside the oven set fire to some of its vines attached to the plant which in turns kills off the rest of the school and the plant itself. Screw and Kev run and escape the fire, where Kev finally admits he shouldn’t have cheated and regrets getting Screw in trouble. The animation ends with Screw and Kev sitting on a hill watching over the remains of their school being fixed by the emergency services. They talk about how much trouble they’re going to be in as well as what they think the world was like before plants went extinct. They imagine it would be much prettier, and the animation ends on a still frame of a billboard with a plant on it contrasting the dead and boring design of their real world where all the plants were destroyed.
