Sick Girl follows the story of the young and introverted entomologist, Ida Teeter, working in a natural history museum who falls in love with her bubbly and confident lab assistant, Misty Falls.

As the two women's relationship deepens, Ida's secret life and love for insects becomes increasingly difficult to hide from her new partner. When an unknown bug is introduced to the museum, Ida becomes obsessed, and her obsession soon spirals out of control.
