Thanksgiving Plot
In 2022, during Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts, people are getting ready for a big sale at the RightMart store. Jessica’s dad owns the store, and she lets her friends inside early. But a crowd outside rushes in, causing chaos, and some people die, including the store manager’s wife, Amanda.
A year later, RightMart is having another sale, and Jessica and her friends see a social media post with their names around a Thanksgiving table. Bobby, Jessica’s friend, comes back to work in Plymouth after getting hurt in the chaos. Meanwhile, a person dressed as John Carver starts attacking and killing people involved in the previous Black Friday incident.
Jessica helps the police by providing footage of the chaos. The Carver keeps hurting people, including Jessica’s friends and even her stepmom. The police try to catch the Carver by involving Jessica’s family and friends in a Thanksgiving parade, but it goes wrong, and the Carver kidnaps them.
The Carver does terrible things, like cooking Jessica’s stepmom alive. Jessica manages to escape and realizes that the town sheriff, Newlon, is the Carver. He reveals he was in a relationship with Amanda, who died in the chaos, and that’s why he became the Carver for revenge. Jessica livestreams his confession, and Bobby saves her from the Carver’s attack.
They try to escape, but the Carver catches them. Jessica shoots a parade balloon, causing an explosion that burns the Carver. The next morning, Bobby is taken away in an ambulance, and Jessica reunites with her friends. The police can’t find the Carver’s remains, but Jessica keeps having nightmares of him attacking her.
