Synopsis :
A few years
before the events of the
first film, retired parapsychologist, Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye),
reluctantly uses her spiritual ability to contact the spirit of Quinn Brenner's
(Stefanie
Scott) mother, Lillith, who died a year before. However, she urges Quinn
not to make contact with her mother again after she senses that the spirit is
not Lillith. Quinn begins to see a mysterious figure waving at her from a
distance, and following her unsuccessful attempt to win an audition for a
prestigious drama school, she is hit by a car and spends several months in a
coma before waking up with her leg cast.
The accident
leaves Quinn stuck in her apartment with her father, Sean (Dermot
Mulroney), and younger brother, Alex (Tate Berney). The demonic figure
continues to haunt her, becoming increasingly malevolent as time progresses and
leaving Quinn with her neck injured after the demon flings her around her
bedroom. Sean tries to convince Elise, who like him is still grieving after the
loss of her significant other: her husband, Jack, to help his daughter, but
Elise declines, stating that her previous visits to the "dark" spiritual
world made her realize that an evil spirit is hunting to kill her. However, she
is convinced by her fellow parapsychologist, Carl (Steve Coulter), to continue
using her spiritual ability, reminding her about her successful case involving Josh
Lambert and stating that she is stronger than any spirits or demons
because she is living and they are not. Due to Elise's refusal, Alex suggests
to call a ghost hunters duo: Specs (Leigh
Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson), but Quinn's possession grows
increasingly worse as she, now possessed by the demon, breaks through her
braces. Realizing that they are a fraud, Sean prepares to kick the duo out
until Elise arrives timely. Deducing that the demon's goal is to lure potential
victims to "the Further" so it can eat their life force, Elise
decides to enter the spiritual world with Specs and Tucker recording any
activities and words she spells out. With the help of a spirit who likewise is
a victim of the demon, Elise enters the Further and after a brief encounter
with the evil spirit that haunts her, the Bride in Black (Tom Fitzpatrick),
meets with Jack (Adrian Sparks), whom she realizes is the demon (Michael Reid
MacKay). While managing to defeat the demon, Elise returns to the material
world after realizing that Quinn has to defeat the faceless version of herself
by herself, who is slowly taking control of her features and soul. Though Quinn
is at first at a disadvantage, Elise reads a message that the Brenner's late
neighbor had tried to tell Quinn of: that Lillith is leaving her with a letter
to read before she graduated. Lillith's (Ele Keats)
spirit then appears to help Quinn fully take control of her body and return to
the material world. She then disappears after leaving parting words to her
family. Following the Brenner' successful case, Elise decides to come out of
retirement and work with Specs and Tucker. She arrives home and notices a figure
watching her from outside. Thinking that it is Jack at first, Elise realizes
that it is something demonic as the demon from the first film (Joseph
Bishara) suddenly appears beside her.
