Six months after the terrifying ordeal involving the cursed videotape, journalist Rachel Keller and her young son, Aidan, attempt to start afresh by relocating from Seattle to Astoria, Oregon. Rachel takes a job at the local newspaper, hoping for peace. However, a local high school teen is found dead under horrifying, familiar circumstances—his face frozen in pure terror, showing the unmistakable signs of Samara Morgan's lethal wrath. Realizing the curse has followed them, Rachel rushes to the scene and manages to intercept and destroy the incriminating tape, believing the threat is neutralized.Despite her efforts, Aidan soon begins experiencing strange phenomena. He suffers from mysterious hypothermia, draws disturbing images of Samara's iconic well, and falls under a malevolent psychological influence. Rachel realizes that the entity does not strictly require the videotape to spread its evil anymore; Samara has attached herself directly to Aidan, desperate to possess the boy's body and achieve rebirth in the physical world. As Aidan's health rapidly deteriorates, medical professionals suspect child abuse, prompting social services to intervene and temporarily place Aidan in a hospital, inadvertently leaving him dangerously vulnerable to the supernatural forces closing in.Desperate to save her son, Rachel delves deeper into Samara’s tragic origins. She discovers the truth about Samara’s biological mother, Evelyn, who attempted to drown her infant daughter and later committed suicide after enduring years of torment. Rachel confronts the unstable Evelyn in a psychiatric ward, only to witness Evelyn's suicide, which provides Rachel with a horrifying revelation: Samara can only be stopped if she is completely drowned again.Returning to the hospital, Rachel rescues a catatonic Aidan from the clutches of the possessed medical staff. She drives him to their home, where Aidan has regained enough consciousness to realize he is fighting Samara's control. Recognizing that the entity possessing her son is no longer her true boy, Rachel bravely lures Samara into a trap in the upstairs bathtub. Fighting against supernatural resistance and Samara's terrifying illusions, Rachel forcefully drowns Aidan just long enough to banish the vengeful spirit, immediately reviving him afterward. As Samara's grip finally shatters, the cursed well collapses into the abyss of the spirit world. Aidan is freed from the nightmare, and Rachel looks out over the ocean, finally finding a glimmer of peace as she realizes their long, agonizing ordeal is truly over.
