Angela Baker still nurses a deep obsession with campgrounds. To this end, she kills a young woman and then assumes her identity. She gets herself a job working as a counselor at Camp New Horizons. The camp is headed up by the husband and wife team of Lily and Herman Miranda. Herman is a notorious philanderer, and Lily is nothing but the epitome of sloth. The other campers represent the worst of society including gang members, racists, and all-around bad apples. One of the administrators however is Barney Whitmore, who is the father of Sean Whitmore, whom Angela beheaded the previous year. Feeling as though none of these reprobates are deserving of life, she takes to killing them off one by one. She finds that only two members of the group are worthy of life, Marcia Holland and Tony DeRaro. When Marcia and Tony find out what Angela's been up to however, they decide to fight back.
