Synopsis/Details
Disgruntled country cousins Beverly and Sheila just want to live their lives on the edge of the swamp; drinking and grilling, but the arrival of a trio of restauranteurs looking to harvest mushrooms from the swamp sends the cousins into a tailspin. They deny entry to the swamp at first, but after finding out it's not their property, they vow revenge on the township they live in. After a night of heavy drinking, heavy for them, they somehow order some yellowcake uranium off the dark web. When it arrives, so do two special government agents that are tracking the uranium. In a panic, Sheila tosses the yellowcake into the swamp and the agents are sent on their way.
By that night, the glow is hard to miss and the cousins don't know what to do. The restauranteurs return and harvest mushrooms to serve their customers. Beverly and Sheila try to stop this but it's too late and after a night spent in jail, along with the restaurant folks, all hell has broken loose as townsfolk have turned into giant, ravening mushroom people forcing others to eat them.
Sheila and Beverly save the day and it seems all is well, or is it?
