Poison Ivy 2: Lily

Lily, a sheltered art student from Michigan, arrives in California to start college life. She moves into a shared apartment with Tanya, Bridgette and Robert, where the mood feels uneasy and the normal college rhythm barely hides something off about her roommates. The new environment hints that not everything is as it seems.

Lily finds a box belonging to Ivy filled with nude pictures and a diary. She is immediately drawn to Ivy's content and craves the sexual confidence and fearlessness Ivy embodies. This discovery pulls her toward Ivy's image and away from her own self expression.

In art class Lily struggles to express herself, while Gredin, an attractive co-student and sculptor, radiates confidence. They form a connection and begin a romantic relationship. His presence offers Lily a contrasting lens to her own insecurities.

Lily takes a babysitting job for Daphna, the daughter of her art teacher Donald Falk. Donald has a troubled history with his wife, having affairs with his female students, which sets a tense backdrop for the young couple and Lily. The babysitting arrangement ties Lily more closely to Donald and his world.

Seeking Ivy's audacious aura, Lily cuts her hair and begins wearing revealing clothes. Her obsession with Ivy grows, and she attempts to adopt Ivy's image as her own. The change creates distance from those who knew her before.

Lily and Gredin grow closer as they engage in a sexual relationship. Gredin notices how much time she spends with Donald, but Lily explains it is for babysitting and art, as she tries to balance both worlds. Their romance intensifies amid the surrounding chaos.

Lily inspires Donald to express himself artistically again, encouraging him to paint and reconnect with his craft. She agrees to pose nude for him, which cements a dangerous attraction between them and strains his marriage to Angela. The dynamic blurs professional boundaries.

Lily grows paranoid after suspecting that Gredin and Bridgette are involved, and she pushes back by piercing her belly button and rebelling against her friends. The friction isolates her and intensifies her obsession with Ivy's image. Her world becomes more dramatic and unstable.

At a Halloween party Lily basks in the attention from men until she spots Gredin dancing with another girl. The sight fuels jealousy and fuels a yearning for control over her relationship. The evening showcases how far Lily has drifted from her old self.

To provoke Gredin, Lily kisses a masked guy at the party, who turns out to be Robert. The moment underscores her willingness to take risks for attention, and it leads to further strain in her relationship with Gredin when he dumps her the next day. The incident marks a turning point in her social dynamics.

Following increasing tension and Lily's kiss with Gredin, Donald confesses that he loves Lily and they briefly become intimate. Their liaison is quickly interrupted, underscoring the blurred lines of desire and consent. Lily leaves but the emotional fallout remains.

Lily brings Gredin to Thanksgiving dinner with Donald and his family, and the night takes a dark turn. After being asked to help put Daphna to bed, Donald forces himself on Lily, and they are discovered. Daphna flees into the street and is struck by a car, leaving Lily traumatized and prompting her to destroy Ivy memorabilia in a fit of shock.

Gredin arrives to reveal that Daphna survived the incident, but Donald knocks him out and pursues Lily to the roof. After a struggle, Donald slips and falls, while Gredin manages to pull Lily free. The chaotic sequence ends with Donald dead and Lily left to process the chaos.

In the aftermath, Lily contemplates leaving college and returning to Michigan, but she and Gredin admit their love for each other. Lily decides to stay in California, choosing love and the uncertain life she has built. The conclusion focuses on resilience and new beginnings.
