The film follows the story of Jennifer Hills (Butler), continuing the story of the first story and not the second; this is the true sequel. After Jennifer survived her assault and exacted revenge on the men that hurt her, she has returned to city life, completely scarred from the whole ordeal. She's no longer an aspiring writer and now devotes herself between working as an assault hotline operator, going to group counselling, and getting personal therapy for her ordeal, under the assumed name, Angela. Because of her mental/emotional scars, she has become highly aggressive and defensive around her environment; she doesn't trust men and presume all simply wants to have her, including the good ones. However, she began developing a bond with one of the girls in the group, Marla, and two began their own personal crusade, by exacting justice for the victims they know. However, just as Jennifer began to enjoy life, Marla died. Distraught and enraged how the law couldn't exact justice for Marla nor the rape victims in her support group, she decided to get revenge for them. One-by-one, Jennifer stalked and lured the scot-free rapists to a private place to torture and kill them. However, her actions began to draw attention from the cops as they suspect she's behind recent murders; she was never caught. Despite the police keeping an eye on her, she managed to evade detection, but she has become further disillusioned with society and enraged there's no justice for wrongdoers. Jennifer was ultimately stopped after she lost her sanity to hurt another man and the police stopped her in the act. Despite being sent to jail and continuing her psychotherapy, Jennifer has become a highly violent and cynical person, unwilling to stop exacting her murderous rage upon those who earned her wrath.
