One year following the death of Warewolf, Alex Singh begins working on a plan to bring the others back to Northpoint while Miles Porter appears to have moved on and began dating a girl named Emily. Ben Holloway returns and reveals that all the others have vanished randomly leading to Alex going down a downward spiral of crazy. Sheriff Rowan Hale agrees to host a funeral if they don't find the others and learns of Alex's telekinetic abilities and asks him to help stop crime in Northpoint, a request Alex ignores. Miles and Emily return to Alex, Ben, and the returned Mady Porter, and learn of the deaths of the others. In the "Other Town" dimension, the Flayor creates a duplicate of itself in a humanoid form and trasverses into the home dimension of Northpoint. Sheriff Hale decides he might resign but is begged by the other officers to stay. Alex is attacked by the Flayor and is swiftly defeated, with the Flayor explaining its origins from the Other Town, how it was weakened and angered upon the death of Warewolf, and vows to make an army to take control of Northpoint before returning to the Other Town. Upon returning to the others at Miles' house, Alex explains the situation and fears that this threat has the ability to open portals on command. The Flayor summons a second figure, in a form of a dog, and calls it "Flaydemon".

A week after his defeat by the Flayor, Alex begins to doubt his ability to protect Northpoint, growing increasingly fixated on the hope that the vanished might still return, even as he senses the town itself is subtly wrong. At Emily’s urging, searches begin for Mara Holloway, Noah Pike, Claire Benton, and Lucas Reed, while Ben and Sheriff Rowan Hale intervene as Miles becomes emotionally dependent on Emily’s influence, and Mady pleads with Alex to find Evan, without success. The Flayor soon manifests downtown, exerting its shadowed control over the surrounding residents and drawing Alex into a confrontation that escalates when the Flaydemon attacks; Alex destroys the creature using his telekinetic abilities. The Flayor overpowers Alex, warning him that the Warewolf failed to complete what must be done before retreating back into the Other Town. Later, Alex, Emily, Hale, Ben, and Miles watch a news report confirming the discovery of the bodies of Evan, Mara, Noah, Lucas, and Claire in a town thirty miles away, shattering any remaining hope that they might still be alive.

The group attends the funerals of Evan, Mara, Noah, Claire, and Lucas as Northpoint struggles to accept their deaths. One week later, Alex, Ben, and Miles cross into the Other Town to search for clues on how to sever the dimension from the main world, but find only instability and decay. As they attempt to leave, they are attacked by a Flaydemon, and Alex discovers his telekinetic abilities are weaker there, nearly costing them their escape. In Northpoint, Rowan investigates the alleged murders and is confronted by a deputy about a secret he has been hiding, forcing him to reveal the existence of the Other Town and that Northpoint is uniquely connected to it. With Ben and Miles’ help, Alex manages to kill the Flaydemon and uses its corpse to force open a portal back to the main world. Afterward, Alex warns Rowan that the Flayor is creating demonic entities to hunt them, while in the Other Town, the Flayor generates multiple duplicates of itself and orders its first copy to capture Alex, identifying him as the greatest threat.
