Poison Ivy: The Secret Society

Daisy, recently orphaned, leaves her Iowa ranch and her boyfriend William behind to pursue a college degree. She transfers to Berkshire College, a prestige private institution haunted by a past student’s death. The new setting signals the start of her freshman year and the looming mystery surrounding Alexis Baldwin.

Blake Graves, the dean's son, quickly becomes attracted to Daisy and asks her out. His growing attention stirs tension with his father, Dean Andrew Graves, who disapproves of the pairing. Daisy's social life begins to intersect with elite campus circles.

Azalea Berges, leader of the Ivy Society, manipulates campus power dynamics and breaks into Blake's home to court influence, offering sexual favors in exchange for help advancing her internship prospects. She later invites Daisy to join the Ivies, hinting at the opportunities and danger that lie there. The seeds of manipulation are planted.

Daisy refuses the Ivies at first, preferring studies and her relationship, but a tuition payment error threatens to erase her name from the college system. Facing losing her place, she reluctantly agrees to join the Ivies to keep her scholarship.

Late one night, Daisy and two others participate in an initiation at the Ivy household. They pledge allegiance to the sisterhood, drink drugged ceremonial wine, are stripped, and tattooed with the Ivy insignia. The ritual seals Daisy's new status on campus.

The Ivies present Daisy with a glamorous wardrobe and arrange social access, easing her into a hedonistic lifestyle. Her increasing prominence isolates her from her roommate Magenta, who mourns Alexis Baldwin's death rather than joining the glamour.

Dean Elisabeth Graves awards Daisy a prestigious scholarship, bolstering her status. However, Daisy's romance with Blake falters as he neglects her after they sleep together, triggering a rift between the couple.

Blake and Daisy's intimate night is secretly recorded and the Ivies leak the video on the internet to ruin him. They also torch Blake's sports car to further damage his standing. The attack foreshadows the Ivies' willingness to use blackmail and violence.

Daisy discovers the Ivies are power-hungry manipulators who coerce men and wield influence to gain political traction. She also uncovers that Alexis Baldwin’s death was not an accident but part of a longer pattern of covered-up killings.

Azalea reacts with fury when Magenta usurps her spot on the scholarship list and declares war on the Graves family. She assigns Daisy a loyalty test and pressures her to stay enmeshed in the Ivies' schemes.

Daisy infiltrates the administration building to scrutinize Graves's office. She resists the idea of having sex with him, balking at the arrangement and breaking rank within the Ivies' plans.

Azalea seduces Graves, fatally bludgeons him, and frames Daisy for the murder. The senseless act ignites a police investigation and Daisy becomes a prime suspect due to her proximity to the Graves family.

Daisy confronts Azalea and, through desperation and pleas of forgiveness, gets Azalea to admit her murderous behavior. The confession is recorded, revealing the Ivies' manipulation and setting the stage for the arrest.

A dramatic fight unfolds in the Ivy swimming pool, where Daisy overpowers Azalea and fakes being drowned. Dean Graves leads the police to the scene, and Daisy submits the recording proving her innocence as Azalea is taken into custody.

Daisy is granted the rest of the semester off, returns to her farm in Iowa for the summer, and reconciles with Will. Her Ivy tattoo has transformed into a daisy, symbolizing a new, honest path forward.
