Decades after their fiery showdown at Camp Crystal Lake, the world has forgotten the Springwood Slasher and the Lake Juggernaut. This is by design. A shadowy pharmaceutical conglomerate, DreamCorr, has effectively suppressed the legend of Freddy Krueger by mass-marketing a miracle drug called "No-REM," which eliminates dreams entirely, starving Freddy of his power source. Meanwhile, the ruins of Camp Crystal Lake have been turned into a black-site containment facility where a comatose, regenerating Jason Voorhees is kept on ice, studied for his immortality.
The horror begins when a group of "dark tourism" streamers and hackers break into the DreamCorr facility to expose the "unethical experiments," inadvertently cutting the power to Jason's cryo-stasis. Simultaneously, the hack disrupts the drug distribution network, causing a massive withdrawal event in Springwood. Thousands of teens suddenly dream for the first time in years. A starving, desperate, and sadistic Freddy realizes he is too weak to harvest them alone, so he manipulates the newly awakened Jason into coming to Springwood to start the slaughter. The film is a blood-soaked race against time as the final girl, Maya, must find a way to trap both monsters in the waking world before they tear the entire town apart.
