Sam and Tara now live in New York City, with Tara attending Blackmore University alongside fellow survivors Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin, their roommate Quinn Bailey, Mindy's girlfriend Anika Kayoko, and Chad's roommate Ethan Landry. Tara is in a relationship with Chad, which Quinn keeps interrupting. Sam is seeing a therapist and is taking medications to suppress her hallucinations. Sam's father was a serial killer and last year she found out that her boyfriend Richie was also a serial killer. Sam is ostracized in public because of an online conspiracy theory that she was the true mastermind of the latest killings. Sam stopped Richie by stabbing him 22 times and slashing his throat. Sam is secretly dating Danny. As news of Jason and Greg's murders is reported on TV, they also talk about Ghostface masks found in their closets. Sam wants to leave town immediately, but Tara is done running. She wont let one incident define the rest of her life. Ghostface attacks the sisters and leaves behind a Ghostface mask worn in the 2011 Woodsboro killings. At the NYPD police station, the sisters meet Quinn's detective father, Wayne Bailey, FBI special agent Kirby Reed, a survivor of the 2011 killings, and reporter Gale Weathers, who tells them she spoke to Sidney Prescott and that she has gone into hiding to protect her family. Sam and Tara are angry with Gale as she wrote a book about what happened, even though she promised she would not. Gale called Sam unstable and a born killer. Sam's therapist Christopher Stone is murdered by Ghostface, who steals Sam's file and leaves behind a mask worn in the Hollywood killings. Wayne suspects that Sam killed her therapist since she had admitted to liking killing Richie and that was also in his session notes, which are now stolen. Mindy theorizes that the killer is following the rules of film franchises, specifically the rule that anyone can die while the franchise will still continue. Ghostface attacks the group in the sisters' apartment, murdering Anika and seemingly killing Quinn. Sam's boyfriend Danny helps the others escape and Ghostface leaves behind a mask worn in the Windsor College killings.

But it is Halloween, and many people are wearing Ghostface masks as the news of the killings is trending on social media. Mindy is stabbed by Ghostface on the train. Sam refuses to let Danny inside the theatre as she does not trust him. At the theater, Sam sees a hallucination of her father, original Ghostface killer Billy Loomis. Billy asks Sam to take a knife and to kill the killers. Wayne calls Sam and says that Kirby was fired by the FBI 2 months ago for being mentally unstable. Taking his knife from the original murders, she realizes they have been locked inside. Two Ghostfaces appear and attack Chad. They manage to stab Tara who was with Chad. As Chad tries to fight them, he is stabbed by both multiple times. Wayne and Kirby both arrive with guns drawn. Wayne attempts to lend credence toward Kirby being the killer, only to shoot her, revealing himself as a third Ghostface and the mastermind; his accomplices are his children, revealed to be Ethan and a still-alive Quinn, who faked her death to ease suspicion. The trio reveal that they are Richie's family who want to avenge his death. They were responsible for defaming Sam online and plan to frame her for their killing spree.
