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 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 takesseized 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.
