On July 4, 1996, in Southport, North Carolina, Julie James and her friends embark on what they anticipate will be a fun day at the beach. However, their carefree outing quickly shifts into horror when they accidentally hit a pedestrian on their way home.

Panic sets in among the group as they realize that Max, a passing acquaintance, witnessed the aftermath of the accident. In a moment of desperation, Barry and Helen decide to dispose of the body, inadvertently escalating the situation as they push it out to sea.

Fast forward a year later, and Julie returns home from her first year of college to find her friends distant and haunted by their secret. Each is consumed by guilt over the accident, making their once-close bond feel strained and fragile.

Julie receives a mysterious letter with the ominous text, 'I know what you did last summer!' This unsettling communication propels her to confront her friends about their buried past, igniting a sense of urgency to uncover the truth behind their shared secret.

The friends’ sense of dread heightens when they learn that Max has been murdered. This news leaves them in a state of fear as they realize that their past actions have consequences that now threaten their lives.

Julie's quest for the truth leads her to David Egan, a local resident with connections to their incident. She unearths secrets that suggest a mysterious figure, Billy Blue, may also hold the keys to understanding the horrors they are encountering.

One night, Helen discovers that her sanctuary has been invaded by the killer. The only trace left behind is severed locks of her hair, signaling that the threat is now very personal and immediate.

In a shocking turn, Julie uncovers Max's corpse concealed in her car trunk, wrapped in Barry's stolen jacket. Just as she prepares to share this horrifying revelation with her friends, the body inexplicably disappears, heightening their collective paranoia.

With the July 4th festivities approaching, the friends are unaware of the escalating danger awaiting them. Julie learns of the letters received by her friends, drawing them into a deeper web of fear as secrets begin to unravel.

Tragedy further strikes when Helen discovers her sister, Elsa, has also been brutally murdered. The deepening horror leaves Helen terrified and desperate, pushing her to take drastic measures to escape.

Julie finally uncovers a connection to Ben Willis, the father of the girl they accidentally harmed. This revelation leads her to confront the figure of vengeance tied closely to their tragic past, raising the stakes incredibly high.

Ray awakens just in time to save Julie from a life-threatening encounter with the killer. As they confront the deep-seated horrors of their past, they rekindle their connection and fight to survive their nightmarish reality.
