The movie begins with the birth of Martin Brundle. Martin's birth is unique, as he is the offspring of Veronica Quaife and Brundlefly, the human-housefly hybrid from the first film. The birth is under the control of Seth Brundle's (the man of Brundlefly) employer, Bartok Inc. Veronica dies during childbirth, leaving Martin in the custody of Bartok Inc., who plan to exploit his unique genes.

Martin's life is quickly accelerated as a result of his insect genes. He knows he is aging faster than a normal human, but he doesn't know of his insect heritage. He matures into a full adult human in five years.

Anton Bartok, the head of the company, offers Martin a position working on the telepods his father invented. In those five years, Bartok has not made any progress getting them to work. The company, and the man, hope Martin will finish what his father started.

As he works on the telepods, he befriends Beth Logan. They grow closer together, and he gets the telepods to work. However, he slowly learns the truth of his father's fate, his own biology, the company's motives, and a possible cure. However, the cure requires the sacrifice of another human being. Swapping the good genes for the bad will leave Martin 100% normal, but the other will suffer a grotesque genetic fate. Things begin to culminate when the signs of Martin's transformation begin. He and Beth flee, but his changes become too much. Beth surrenders them both in desperation.

However, Bartok Inc. is not completely prepared for the full brunt of Martinfly. As he kills those trying to subdue him, a trace of humanity remains. He abducts Anton Bartok into the telepod, and gestures for Beth to hit the switch. She does. Martin returns to human form with 100% human genes. Anton Bartok suffers an ironic fate of becoming the freak himself.
