In Atlanta, Kenny Bomar is grieving his stillborn daughter. Chemicals killed their child, leaching from a type of plant the government is hiding in Black neighbourhoods. As his grief turns corrosive, it taints every person he touches. Black epidemiologists Retta and Ebonee are called to the scene when a mysterious black substance is found to have killed a high school girl. Investigating these "blackouts" sends the women down separate paths of blame and retribution as two seemingly disparate narratives converge in a cinematic conclusion.
