Six months after the horrifying events that terrorized Rachel Keller and her son Aidan, the two have left their home in Seattle to escape the haunting memories of Samara and her cursed videotape, which left so much death in its wake. Moving to the small coastal community of Astoria, Oregon, Rachel and Aidan hope to make a fresh start. However, Rachel's resolve quickly turns to dread when evidence at a local crime scene--including an unmarked video tape--seems eerily familiar. Rachel realizes that the vengeful Samara is back and more determined than ever to continue her relentless cycle of terror and death.
