Celestine North lever i et samfund, der kræver perfektion. Efter at være blevet mærket som FLOSSET af den moralske domstol, har Celestine mistet sin frihed. Dommer Crevan har erklæret hende til at være samfundets største trussel, og hun lever nu under jorden, konstant på flugt fra myndighederne. Med sig har hun den indadvendte, men stærkt attraktive Carrick, det eneste menneske hun kan stole på – og sammen har de en plan, der kan få hele det PERFEKTE samfund til at smuldre. Dommer Crevan har overtaget, og tiden er ved at løbe ud for Celestine, der er nødt til at træffe en livsfarlig beslutning: Skal hun redde sig selv eller sætte livet på spil for at redde alle de andre FLOSSEDE? Og vigtigst af alt: Kan hun bevise, at man ikke skal være fejlfri for at være et menneske?

I Celestines verden er alt perfekt, og alt skal være perfekt. Celestine kommer fra en idyllisk familie, hun er smuk, får gode karakterer og har en kæreste, Art, der elsker hende. Hvad mere kan man ønske sig? Flosset foregår i en tid ikke langt fra vores i en verden, hvor det perfekte efterstræbes af alle.

Det er ham, der dømmer og bestemmer, hvem der skal mærkes med det frygtede F, hvis de falder uden for normen. Er man først mærket, skal det kunne ses af alle, og man er udstødt fra samfundet, har begrænsede rettigheder og er shamed for resten af livet. Da Celestine ser en ældre mand på bussen komme i problemer, tøver hun ikke med at hjælpe ham. Hvad så, hvis han er mærket, han er vel stadig et menneske? Hendes beslutning om at hjælpe den ældre mand stiller Celestine over for sit livs valg: hun må enten benægte, hvad hun har gjort eller stå fast på sine principper med fare for, at hun dermed må vinke farvel til det perfekte liv, hun hidtil har levet – inklusive Art …
