The film tells the story of a group of high school students getting ready for their prom night. But their celebration is soon disrupted by a mysterious stalker who begins killing them off one by one. The film starts with a group of children playing a game of hide and seek in a closed-down school. Tragically, one of the children, Robin Hammond, falls to her death from a window while playing the game. The children are traumatized by the accident and vow never to speak of it again.

Years later, the children have grown up and are now high school seniors. The anniversary of Robin's death is approaching, and the school is planning a new prom. The main characters, Kim (Jamie Lee Curtis), Nick (Casey Stevens), Alex, and Wendy, are all busy preparing for the big event. Kim is excited about going to the prom with Nick, with whom she has a crush. Nick, on the other hand, is dealing with some serious family issues, as his younger sister, who has been hospitalized for years after witnessing Robin's death, has escaped from the hospital and is now missing.

As the night of the prom approaches, the students start receiving threatening phone calls from a mysterious voice. The voice is revealed to belong to a man who was present when Robin died and is now seeking revenge. The killer begins targeting the students one by one, using various methods to eliminate them.

Kim, Nick, and their friends must scramble to solve the mystery of the killer's identity before it's too late. As the night wears on, they discover that the killer is in their midst, and that the person responsible for Robin's death all those years ago has returned to claim his revenge.
