Ann Fisk, a scientist and former student of Alec Holland, is in town. Ann's mentor, Carter LaRoche, has designs to build a recycling factory under Arcane's financing in the swamp. Ann must trust a strange voice in the swamp to expose an evil that she is not aware of.

Ann Fisk returns to the swamp to find the mysterious voice that guided her before on the suspicion that she knows who he is. The Swamp Thing has discovered a fascinating phenomenon about his power. Meanwhile, two brothers seek revenge on Arcane for his evil and Ann is caught in the middle.

When Arcane unleashes a genetic assassin into the swamp in the form of a virus, he gets more than he bargained for; he not only gets rid of the Swamp Thing, but he accidentally brings Alec Holland back.

The Swamp Thing gets addicted to hallucinogenic iguana eggs which makes him live out a fantasy of being human again. His addictions almost cost Will his life when Arcane gets involved.
