## Synopsis

Friends in High School 6. The start of a new era for the series.

## Plot

The Group arrived in Colorado. They rename themselves to the Georgia Group. They arrive in the town of Nelson, and scope around. James proposes visiting the graveyard, and finds the tombstone of “Skylar Thompson.” “We’re here,” James ominously states.

Tyson asks, “Wait, what about the time machine?” James answers, “Oh, I left it in my basement. It’s fine. It’s pretty hidden. Even my mom doesn’t know where it is.” The Georgia Group scout the area, and learn of the Nelson parade, which they go attend. There, they see the Nelson High Marching Band pass by, but they don’t see a “Bryson” anywhere. Tyson proposes giving up and returning to Georgia, but James is adamant on hunting down Bryson.

Tyson gives up, and returns to Georgia, where he gets curious, and goes into James’ home. He looks for the Time Machine, and even asks James’ mom for a “secret location,” of which she doesn’t recognize. Tyson checks James’ room, and doesn’t find anything. He asks James’ mom for some food, and accidentally pulls a chair, which opens the dinner table, and exposes the secret location of the Time Machine.

James is notified on his phone that the secret location has been revealed. He looks at Amelia and Shelby, who tell James they’re going to the local mall. He wishes them luck, and at night, sneaks out to return to Georgia.

Tyson looks around, amazed at the secret location. He sees a sign that says, “Time Machine. This way,” with an arrow pointing towards the wall. He is shocked to see that the Time Machine is missing. James suddenly appears behind him, and Tyson worryingly asks, “Dude, don’t you see the machine’s gone?!” James just stares. “Dude! The item that can travel through time! It’s gone!” James continues to stare. “James! What the hell is wrong with you?!” James then goes up to a whiteboard, and pulls it down.

Amelia and Shelby return to their hotel, where they plan to hook up, but don’t see James. They assume him to be asleep, so they continue, and hook up in James’ bed.

James shows Tyson a PowerPoint project. Tyson is shocked as to what James is showing right in front of him; James was Danny’s true killer. He framed Amelia, and gaslighted and mind controlled into believing she did it. He convinced Tania to T-Bone Tyson and Kyle. He was always on Kyle’s side, and convinced Ronan to turn against the Manager Group. He plotted with Michelle to make it seem James was unbeatable against her. He convinced Ronan to sacrifice himself, and betrayed Michelle to kill two birds with one stone. Finally, he purposely invited Kathy to Georgia, and convinced her to kill Janice.

Tyson is shocked, and freezes up in front of James. James closes the project, and asks Tyson, “So, whaddya think?” Tyson is still shocked, and doesn’t say anything. James then says, “Ok, so know that you know, it’s time to die.” James then pulls out a knife and starts going after Tyson. Tyson retaliates, and manages to get the knife out of James’ hand. However, Tyson fails to notice a cliff, where he slips, but manages to grab the edge. James grabs Tyson’s hand to pull him up, but then lets him go, dropping Tyson to his death.

James returns to Nelson, and finds Amelia and Shelby. He begins to stalk them, but later meets again with Kathy, who has possessed someone and has become Angel0, and Angel0’s accomplice, Gordon Molina. James learns of Angel0’s plan to travel into space. James asks why, and Angel0 answers, “The God Box.” Gordon simply says, “Unlimited power.” Amelia and Shelby plan to meet up with a local group simply named “The Group,” to take down the three. The movie ends with a flashforward, with James and Angel0 looking at a shape in the sky, as it opens and exposes dark magic.
