Fifteen years after the shocking Woodsboro murders, a new wave of terror starts as high school students Jenny Randall and Marnie Cooper become the latest victims of the infamous Ghostface. This resurgence of horror serves as a stark reminder of the past events that continue to haunt the town.

On the following day, Sidney Prescott returns to her hometown of Woodsboro to promote her self-help book, accompanied by her publicist Rebecca Walters. Little does she know, her return is marked by unsettling occurrences tied to the recent killings, making her the center of renewed horror.

After incriminating evidence is discovered in her rental car, Sidney is shockingly named the prime suspect in the recent murders. As law enforcement investigates, Sidney is compelled to stay in Woodsboro, determined to prove her innocence while grappling with the resurfacing trauma.

Sidney's cousin, Jill Roberts, is dealing with the fallout from her troubled relationship with Trevor Sheldon when she receives a menacing call from Ghostface. This unsettling communication heightens her anxiety and draws her deeper into the web of fear that is engulfing her friends.

Tragedy strikes during a night at Jill's home when Ghostface brutally kills Olivia, leaving Jill and her friend Kirby Reed helpless as they witness the horror unfold from across the street. The shocking murder serves to escalate the existing terror in Woodsboro, making it clear that the killer is relentless.

After Olivia's murder, Sidney bravely confronts Ghostface, resulting in a chaotic struggle. Although she manages to fend off the killer momentarily, the confrontation leaves her shaken and underscores the danger she and her loved ones are in.

Amid the chaos, Sidney comes to a grim realization and dismisses Rebecca after discovering her ulterior motive to exploit the murders. Soon after, in a chilling turn of events, Ghostface tracks down Rebecca and kills her in a dark parking garage.

Determined to uncover the killer's identity, Gale teams up with enthusiastic high schoolers Charlie and Robbie. They speculate that the next murder could occur at the upcoming Stabathon screening, where fans gather to watch the Stab films back-to-back.

While attending the Stabathon event undercover, Gale becomes a target when Ghostface unexpectedly stabs her in the shoulder. This attack underlines the perilous situation everyone is in, as the killer demonstrates a willingness to strike at any moment.

As the terror escalates, deputies Hoss and Perkins meet gruesome ends at the hands of Ghostface, further increasing the body count. This bloodshed intensifies the urgency for both the authorities and the survivors to find the killer before more lives are lost.

In a heart-wrenching moment, Jill discovers that her mother, Kate, has been murdered by Ghostface after leaving for Kirby's place. This horrific event amplifies the stakes and reveals how deeply entangled their lives have become with the ongoing violence.

At a gathering at Kirby's house, things take a dark turn when Ghostface strikes again, brutally killing Robbie. Tensions rise as the group realizes that they are in immediate danger, leading to chaotic attempts to escape their grim fate.

In a shocking twist, Jill is revealed to be the mastermind behind the murders, fueled by her jealousy towards Sidney's fame. Her ruthless tactics involve eliminating anyone standing in her way, as she plans to portray herself as a victim.

The chaotic showdown reaches its peak when Jill attempts to finish Sidney off after realizing she survived the previous attacks. In a tense fight with the help of Dewey, Gale, and Judy, the true extent of Jill's duplicity is revealed.

In a climactic struggle, Sidney ultimately prevails by incapacitating Jill with a defibrillator and delivering a fatal shot to her heart. Despite the chaos, Jill is mistakenly celebrated as a hero by the media, highlighting the dark irony of her actions.
