==Premise==
A few months after the events of the first film, Katie Mitchell is now a student at the California College of Film, and has begun a relationship with her groupmate Jade. Her father Rick has gotten more accustomed to technology, and her younger brother Aaron has begun hanging out with their neighbors the Poseys' daughter Abbey, and the two have also become a boyfriend-girlfriend couple. During a day where she is filming, she is told to leave class early, as a man named Larry Jean is looking for her to be the lead actress of his new movie, The New Girl in Town. However, unbeknownst to Katie and her family, "Larry" is actually a highly intelligent android named L.A.R.R.Y. (Large Angry Robot of Red Yorkshire) who came from her school's tech lab and is planning on making her his slave to reshape the Earth in his image. Katie will have to find a way to avoid this movie star enslavement or else L.A.R.R.Y. will take over the world and reshape it to his liking.
