Summary

[edit]

Set five years after the main cast’s graduation from Northford High School, William, who had been in a coma, suddenly regains consciousness. Meanwhile, Sky is still haunted by the death of her twin sister and harbors unresolved anger from the events of five years ago and has hallucinations of her family massacred by William. At Sanya and Kenjie’s engagement party, Sky and her close friends reunite. Tania lands a job at Soleil and quickly bonds with its CEO, Tori. Unbeknownst to them, Tori and her group have secretly been plotting against them while assisting William during his paralysis.

Sky becomes the first target, followed by her family and friends. The group even abducts Z, who was supposed to return to the United States for her safety, and keeps her imprisoned in a basement. As Sky and her friends investigate William’s plans, Tori’s group subtly works to mislead and sabotage them. The group successfully ruins Kenjie’s career and engagement to Sanya, while also triggering Poch’s past traumas, leading to issues in his career and relationship with Tim. Meanwhile, Gino searches for answers about his family’s dark past, only to uncover a shocking truth with Sky: William is not Gino’s biological father.

Sky and Tim eventually rescue Z from Tori’s group. As William recovers with plans to launch a surprise attack on Sky, he is betrayed by his own sister, Tori, who poisons him. Although Sky and her friends believe their nightmare is over, but the horror continues as a new one begins. Tori seized control of OnQ and has fired Sky, Dante, and other top employees. This prompts them to form an independent media company to investigate Tori. They soon discover that Tori’s real name is Corazon Garcia, William’s half-sister, who is plotting to eliminate Sky and anyone close to her. They later found out that Wesley and Nikki were Tori's children, and they helped their mother's plot.

After several confessions to the police, it is revealed that the Castrodes family was involved in a sinister plot. Nikki is surrendered to the authorities, while Wesley dies in a car accident while pursuing Sky and Gino. Meanwhile, Tori and Esteves kidnap Tania and her baby, Star, and hold them hostage at the abandoned Northford High School. Sky and Gino arrive, only to realize it is a trap. In a heroic act, Sky saves her family and friends but sacrifices her life in the process. The police ultimately kill Tori and Esteves thus the nightmarish ordeal finally comes to an end.

At Sky's funeral, her loved ones gather to celebrate her life. Eight months later, Nikki takes responsibility for her involvement in her family's crimes. Gino begins to reclaim his childhood by playing the guitar again; Yana and Z work at the Women of Today Crisis Center; Tim and Poch, as well as Archie and Roxy, are married; and Sanya and Kenjie renew their friendship. Dante discovers a USB containing the "Northford Files," a collection of data Sky had completed before her death.

One year after Sky's passing, her family and friends reunite to mark her death anniversary. Dante presents the "Northford Files" documentary, which concludes with Sky's inspiring final message, leaving everyone moved by her legacy.
