Plot
The story begins several months after the first film, with the birth of Martin Brundle. Martin is unique, as he is the offspring of
Veronica Quaife and
Seth Brundle, the man who became a mutated housefly hybrid (known as Brundlefly) from the first film. The birth is under the control of Brundle's employer,
Anton Bartok, owner of Bartok Industries (which financed Brundle's teleportation experiments in the first film). Veronica dies during childbirth, leaving Martin in the custody of Bartok, who plans to exploit his unique condition.
