## Synopsis

Braedon, who had been living in seclusion since Arthur's death, learned of a movie being produced based on a book that Beck had written about the Buzzing Massacre. He sets off to find Roslyn.

Braedon reunites with Roslyn, Marie, and Logan and shows them the article about the movie. Roslyn is distraught and breaks up with Logan, saying she lost herself in the murders. Logan tells her that he loves her and will wait for her while she finds herself. Braedon and the girls set off for Hollywood, hoping to put a stop to the movie.

They met Nina Holden after arriving on set, Nina allowing them to check out the set. Lana Lloyd, who was portraying Annie in the film, introduced herself to the trio and apologized to Roslyn specifically because she'd just finished filming Annie's death scene. Beck, who had been touring the set, spotted Braedon and came over to talk with the group. She expressed her regret in letting the book get so big. Braedon and Marie forgave her but Roslyn harassed her over it. She apologized again, saying she hoped Roslyn would forgive her one day before leaving. Nina called Courtney Van Der Wahl and Jacob Ramirez to set. Jacob was a no show, causing the scene to be delayed. Courtney, thinking Roslyn was a set assistant, demanded she get her a coffee. Roslyn threatened to punch Courtney when she became more and more hostile toward them but Courtney told her she'd sue her if she breathed near her.

Lana took Braedon, Roslyn, and Marie out for a bite to eat and to show them around town. They met Amy Hart at the restaurant, the actress portraying Melanie and her real half sister. Roslyn couldn't handle anymore and ran away to be alone. Braedon and Marie apologized for cutting things short and chased after her.

Jacob, still at his apartment, awoke to find that the woman he'd slept with the night before had stolen his wallet. He angrily shattered a bottle of wine against the wall before hearing a noise, he was attacked by a masked figured and stabbed before being thrown from the balcony, landing on a car. The following day Nina called a cast meeting, during which it was reported that Jacob was found dead. Shocked, the actors wondered what would happen now. Amanda Rose was killed after staying behind on set to look for a lost tube of lipgloss.

Back at their hotel, Roslyn watched the report of Jacob's murder on the news, blaming Arthur for his death. Braedon, quickly growing annoyed, yelled at her to leave Arthur in the past where he belonged.

Marie went out to a club and met two more actors, Nadira Sloan and Zig Ashley. Nadira bribed a bouncer to clear out the VIP area so she could be alone. She soon saw a masked figure watching her. Assuming it to be Zig in his killer costume, Nadira joked with him. Realizing too late that it wasn't a joke, she was killed and pulled out a side door just before Zig came to check on her. Finding no one, he left.

Zig, Ethan Hawke, and Tara Noble approached Nina about quitting the movie. She told them they couldn't because of their contracts. Nina discovered Amanda's body and called the police, who shut down the production until the killer was found. They headed to Zig's house, deciding it best to stay together. Lana and Keenan Reed, who had been out on a date, were attacked and joined up with the others. Amy called Braedon to tell him about the murder, since he was part of the original killings. Braedon, Roslyn, and Marie met them at Zig's house.

Courtney accused Braedon of being the killer before storming off. Amy chased after her, trying to convince her to come back. Zig and Ethan went to lock up all the exits. In the garage, Zig attacked and killed Ethan. Amy returned to the others and said Courtney had vanished. Nina, who was outside trying to get service on her phone, was killed. Zig then threw Courtney's body thru a window before shooting through a window, striking Marie. Braedon fought with him, kicking the gun toward Amy. Amy revealed she was working with Zig before shooting Roslyn. Zig chased after Tara and murdered her.

Amy told Zig to kill Lana and Keenan while she killed Braedon. Keenan was stabbed in the struggle while Lana was able to gain the upper hand and kill Zig. Lana ran to Keenan's side, begging him to stay with her before he fell unresponsive. Amy dragged Lana back into the other room, preparing to kill her, Braedon tackled her and was able to grab the gun, shooting and killing Amy. Braedon walked outside as the police and paramedics arrived. They announced two survivors, Marie and Keenan. Lana left in the ambulance with Keenan while Marie promised she'd never leave Braedon.

Sometime later, Braedon revisited Columtreal University and placed a photo of himself, Annie, and Melanie on a bench. He told them he missed them and would see them soon.
