As the Joker and Harley Quinn wreak havoc in Gotham City, they are attacked by A.R.G.U.S. agents. The Joker escapes, but Harley is defeated and captured by Katana. Meanwhile, A.R.G.U.S.'s director Amanda Waller oversees the opening of a gate to another world. Half a year later, to collect any resources inside the gate, she then tasks Belle Reve inmates Harley, Deadshot, Clayface, Peacemaker, and King Shark with entering it and implants time bombs in their necks that will explode in 72 hours to discourage any escape attempts. As the squad enter the gate, their helicopter crashes in a world that Clayface calls an "Isekai" before they are ambushed by warthogs and a foreign army. Despite repelling the warthogs, they are captured by the army and taken to a prison fortress.

Following the squad's imprisonment, Clayface tries to escape, but the guards cast a spell that negates his powers. They later meet an elite A.R.G.U.S. soldier named Rick Flag, who reveals he knows them and that they are meant to serve as a "Suicide Squad", which the squad-mates of the previous one, send by Waller half a year earlier, were gone missing. Under threat of their time bombs, Clayface releases the other inmates while the squad start a riot and successfully take over the prison.

Before the squad can fight the army, Flag stops them and attempts to reason with the latter group's leader, an elite knight named Cecil, using words he learned from orc prisoners. Despite being insulted by this, Cecil orders his forces to take the squad back to his kingdom. There, they meet Queen Aldora and Princess Fione, the latter of whom resembles Harley. After Aldora casts a translation spell to facilitate contact, she demands the squad to be executed until Peacemaker convinces her to let them take on a mission from her instead. She accepts under the condition that Flag remains imprisoned until the mission succeeds. As the squad regain their equipment, Flag warns them not to interfere with an upcoming battle between Cecil's forces and an army of werewolves. Amidst Cecil's battle, the squad sneak into the werewolves' fortress and encounter Ratcatcher, who holds a grudge against Deadshot for slandering him and takes control of a pack of werewolves to seek revenge. Eventually, the squad defeat the werewolves, but Katana rescues Ratcatcher, who intends to control a different army to kill the squad.
