## Summary

It’s been a year since Cyndi went into the empty water park with her friends and almost got killed by a masked maniac. One full year since she learned how to be strong, how to be a survivor. Now it’s 1984, and summertime has come around again. Cyndi has a boyfriend, a new group of friends, and a part-time summer job. She has every reason to be happy and forget about the past. But she can’t forget. Her nightmares about the water park and her dead friends are getting worse. Wherever she goes, she keeps thinking she sees the killer from last summer watching her from the shadows. Worst of all, there’s a new water park opening up in town, and it looks eerily similar to the one from last year. Opening day is just around the corner, and Cyndi is starting to wonder if her water park nightmare is really over, or if it’s just beginning.

## Plot

**Warning: The following contains spoilers! Proceed at your own risk.**

A year after the massacre at Thrill River, Cyndi Stephens gets a job along with her older boyfriend, Johnny Vesna, at a pool. She befriends Johnny's friends, including his younger sister Christie, best friend Eddie and Brady Johnston, who has an infatuation with Cyndi. Since nobody knows about the massacre, Cyndi is bullied by Jennifer, Brady's cousin who is an overall jerk to her; Cyndi realizes that their boss is Kirk Sheehan. Cyndi signs a contract given to her by Kurt Carver, the son of Kent Carver who owns Camp Kikiwawa and Thrill River, in which Cyndi won't tell anyone about what happened if she gets a scholarship to her dream college.

Johnny suggests sneaking into Thrill River on opening day and Cyndi reluctantly agrees. While there, Cyndi is relentlessly bullied by Jennifer until she runs off; Jennifer seduces Johnny and Cyndi catches them in the act, after which she savagely beats Jennifer and leaves the park. Johnny does drugs with Brady and Eddie, after which Brady invites him to do cocaine with him although Johnny declines; Brady attacks him and chases him off. The masked man is revealed to be alive and he kills one of Christie's friends, before murdering Eddie.

Jennifer, angered at Johnny and Cyndi, cuts Johnny's tires and goes to take a shower in the park before being attacked by the masked man. Cyndi decides to return to the park and finds the bodies of several lifeguards; Brady fantasizes about Johnny and Cyndi breaking up before he is strangled to death by the masked man. Cyndi discovers a captive Jennifer and attempts to save her but is unable to do so before she is killed by a haywired ride. Cyndi finds Johnny and they decide to forget about Jennifer as they run from the masked man. They find the mutilated corpses of dozens of teenagers killed by the masked man before he is seemingly shot dead by Sheehan, then falling into a river.

Cyndi tells Johnny everything as the police don't find the body of the masked man, instead blaming the murders on a drug-addicted Brady. Kurt visits Cyndi's home again but she rips up his contract and says that she will tell everything to the public. Elsewhere, Kurt wheels a wheelchair-bound Kent out of a hospital and they visit Sheehan in the water park, who nursed the masked man back to health on their orders. Kurt reveals that the masked man is his brother Kane and asks Sheehan to take care of him; Sheehan later discovers that Kane escaped.
