The film takes place one year after the first film and once again follows Julie James (played by Hewitt), who wins a vacation to the Bahamas with a group of friends. During their vacation, they are targeted by a killer. The film is an international co-production between the United States, Mexico, and Germany.
A year after the brutal murders of her friends Helen Shivers and Barry Cox by vengeful fisherman Ben Willis, Julie James is attending summer school in Boston, but is haunted by nightmares about the incident. Julie’s roommate, Karla Wilson, receives a call from a local radio station and wins a four-person vacation to the Bahamas. Julie invites her boyfriend Ray Bronson, and although he initially declines, he eventually decides to go.
That night, Ray and his co-worker Dave drive to Boston to surprise Julie, but are stopped by a dead body on the road. When Ray discovers that the body is a mannequin, Ben appears and kills Dave with a hook, then chases Ray in a truck, but Ray escapes and falls down a hill.
The next morning, Julie, Karla, Karla’s boyfriend Tyrell Martin, and their friend Will Benson depart for the trip. The group arrives at the hotel in Tower Bay and checks in. Elsewhere, Ray, at the hospital, has disappeared. That evening at the hotel bar, Julie is singing karaoke when the words “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer” appear on the screen. Panicking, she runs to her room. Will confesses that he likes Julie.
Darrick, a dock worker, is tying up a boat when Ben murders her. Later, Olga, the housekeeper, finds bloody sheets. Ben cuts her up, dragging her into a room. The others get into the hot tub while Julie, who is in her room, cannot find her toothbrush. She searches her room before finding Darick dead in the closet. Horrified, she alerts them, but Darick’s body is gone; Mr. Brooks, the hotel manager, refuses to believe her story. Mr. Brooks notes that they cannot leave the island due to an approaching storm. By the pool, Titus Telesco is murdered. Ray, who survived his injuries, goes out to rescue Julie.
The next day, the group discovers that Olga, Titus, and Mr. Brooks have been murdered and that their two-way radio, their only means of communication, has been destroyed. Isolated, the group goes to Estes’s room, the boat’s porter, and discovers that he has been using voodoo against them. Estes appears, explaining that he was trying to protect them after realizing that their answers to the radio’s questions were incorrect. He tells them that Ben and his wife, Sarah, had two children: a boy and a girl. Ben killed Sarah when he discovered the affair. Estes goes missing, and Will volunteers to look for him, while Ray sails to the island. Julie, Karla, and Tyrell return to the hotel and find Nancy, the bartender, hiding in the kitchen.
Ben appears in the kitchen and kills Tyrell. The girls run to the attic, where Karla is attacked by Ben. Julie and Nancy rescue Karla and run down to the cellar, where they find Ben’s victim. Will bursts in and takes the girls back to the hotel, claiming that he saw Ben on the beach. At the hotel, Will tells them that Estes attacked him and that he is bleeding from his stomach. Nancy and Karla go to find a first aid kit, but find Estes stabbed with a spear. Ben appears, kills Nancy, and attacks Karla. While Julie tends to Will, he reveals that it is not his blood and asks Julie what her favorite radio station is, revealing that he was a radio host and killed Estes. Will drags Julie to a cemetery, where he reveals that he is Ben’s son. Ben appears and attacks Julie before Ray arrives and fights Will. When Ben tries to stab Ray, he accidentally kills Will. While Ben is distraught over killing his son, Julie shoots him dead. Back at the hotel, Karla is found alive and they are rescued by the Coast Guard.
Some time later, Ray and Julie get married and buy a house. Ray is brushing his teeth and the bathroom door locks while he is busy. Julie sits down on the bed and looks in the mirror, seeing Ben underneath. She screams as Ben pulls her under the bed.
