Tommy Jarvis is released from the mental institutions in which he has spent most of
his adolescence. Along with his friend Allen Hawes, Tommy goes to dig up and cremate
Jason's corpse. But when he pierces Jason's chest with an iron fence post, a bolt of
lightning resurrects him. Jason quickly takes out Allen with a fist through the chest,
and when Tommy flees Jason heads for the renamed and reopened Lake Forest Green.
Tommy enters the Forest Green Police Department and demands the help of the
Sheriff. But when Tommy tries to grab a shotgun to take matters into his own hands,
the Sheriff Garris has Tommy thrown in jail. Meanwhile, counselors Lizabeth and
Darren are killed by Jason on their way to camp. The next morning, Garris' daughter
Megan and her fellow counselors Sissy, Paula and Cort visit the station. Tommy warns
them of Jason's resurrection before the Sheriff escorts him towards the town limits.
Back at camp, the counselors prepare for the coming campers. Meanwhile, Jason picks off
five survivalist gamers in the woods. On the way out of town Tommy makes a break for the
graveyard to prove Jason's not in his grave - but the caretaker has covered it over. The
officers continue their escort, but when their out of view Tommy turns right back around
towards the town he's always known as Crystal Lake.
That night, Cort heads off for a tryst with a girl named Nikki. Jason cuts the power to
her RV and boards as they drive away. He slams Nikki's head through a wall and stabs
Cort in the head. When the police discover Lizabeth and Darren's bodies, the Sheriff
suspects Tommy. But Megan isn't convinced, and when Tommy calls the station she answers
and makes plans to meet. At camp, Sissy is killed as Megan and Tommy try to evade the
police. Tommy is thrown in jail despite Megan's alibi for him. Jason uses camp counselor
Paula to repaint one of the cabins in blood red, and Megan busts Tommy out.
The police make their way to the camp, and officers Thornton and Pappas are killed
before the Sheriff comes up against Jason. Megan and Tommy arrive at the seemingly
serene camp, but soon find Paula's remains. Sheriff Garris is killed trying to keep
Jason away from his daughter. Despite Megan's protests, Tommy goes out on the lake
alone and calls to Jason. . .
