Throughout the movie, Kantmiss Evershot must battle against a variety of different opponents, ranging from a group of bachelor contestants to a team of child soldiers. Adding to the chaos, the games are run by a group of crazy, incompetent officials who seem more focused on making jokes about their competitors than actually keeping them safe.

Along the way, Kantmiss forms a romantic relationship with another competitor named Dale (Daugherty), who is also fighting for survival in the games.
