Tommy Jarvis, now a young adult, is released from a mental hospital and sent to a halfway house in Pinehurst, New Jersey.
Tommy arrives at the halfway house, which houses troubled youth including several teenagers who become main characters in the story.
Although Jason Voorhees is presumed dead, the legend looms over the campers and staff, setting an ominous tone.
A series of brutal murders begin occurring, targeting teenagers and locals; the killer uses a machete in Jason's signature style.
Tommy Jarvis suspects someone is framing Jason’s style and tries to unravel the mystery behind the killings to protect his friends.
Tommy confronts the killer in a violent showdown, revealing the true murderer who has been impersonating Jason Voorhees.
It is revealed the killer is Roy Burns, a paramedic grieving over his son's death, who was committing the murders while disguised as Jason.
In the struggle, Roy Burns is killed, ending the killing spree and restoring peace temporarily to Pinehurst.
After surviving the ordeal, Tommy Jarvis leaves Pinehurst and reflects on his traumatic experiences as the town returns to calm.
