The Quit India movement was carried out in the backdrop of a rapid escalation in tensions - both with the british, and societal communal tension. Also in the background was American pressure against The British to free India, as well as the increasing tensions caused by an attack by Japan. On top of all this came the Cripps Mission - which no nationalist would accept in his right mind. None except Jinnah, that is.
By April 1942, it was looking as if the British would lose the war; they were under severe strain across the entire spectrum of WW2. Japan was already knocking on India's gates, while Malaya was lost, with a humuliating British withdrawal. Everywhere one looked, from an Indian standpoint, defeat had seemed imminent.

Any movement can fail without Leadership. All the Congress leaders were put behind bars for 2–3 years (even mid - level leaders). So a relatively unknown Congress leader Aruna Asif Ali had to host Congress flag in Mumbai. Also the reprisal from British authorities were very brutal. Thousand of Indians were killed in firing, lakhs were put in jail, whole villages were burnt etc.. so it is very difficult for ordinary Indians to keep fighting but they did the best they can do. Muslim League & communists have boycotted the movement.
Treason. Sweet and simple. The draft resolution, which was sent to a closed door meeting of the Congress Working Committee at Allahabad a fortnight after the return of Stafford Cripps, fell into the hands of British Intelligence - Courtesy 2 communist members of the congress {Available in the unsealed British archives}. The Indian Communist Party had switched loyalty to the British after the attack on The Soviet Union. Thus, the plan failed before it could be officially adopted; or preparations made for its implementation. All leaders were subsequently arrested immediately.
The plan was simple: Do, or Die. This is evident from The Mahatma's speech o 7th August 1942. We shall either free India, or die in the attempt. There was a specific idea of implementation in The Mahatma's mind - government servants to openly declare allegiance with Congress; Soldiers to refuse to fire on our own people; students to give up studies etc. Unfortunately, it never got a chance to get off the ground.
