Pet Sematary: Bloodlines 2 picks up two years after the harrowing events in Ludlow, Maine. The town has been abandoned, the cursed woods sealed off by federal authorities—yet evil never stays buried. When Rachel Creed’s cousin, Lily, a young investigative journalist, returns to Ludlow to uncover the truth behind her family’s dark history, she stumbles upon something far more terrifying than she imagined: the Bloodlines curse has spread beyond the soil—it’s in the blood.
As Lily delves deeper into the archives of Ludlow’s forgotten past, she discovers that Jud Crandall’s family was not the only guardian of the burial ground. There was a secret second burial site, deeper in the forest, used by Native tribes long before settlers arrived. This land wasn’t just a gateway to resurrection—it was a test of the human soul. Those brought back there don’t just return... they evolve. And now, something that was buried centuries ago is clawing its way to the surface.
Lily’s search leads her to a hidden community of survivors—people who have encountered the curse and lived to tell the tale. Among them is Nora, a woman whose son was one of the “returned.” She warns that the resurrected are no longer mindless husks; they are organizing, remembering fragments of their past lives, and spreading the curse like a virus through bloodline connections. As more disappearances occur in nearby towns, Lily realizes her own family’s connection is no coincidence—she herself carries the blood of the buried.
In a desperate attempt to end the cycle, Lily and Nora must journey into the heart of the forest to destroy the original burial site, which is now guarded by an entity known only as “The First Born”—the first human ever resurrected by the land. With the line between life and death vanishing, Lily must make a terrible choice: destroy the source of the curse, even if it means severing her bloodline and dying with it, or risk letting the evil within her continue its deadly lineage. In the final scene, Lily lights the ceremonial fire, surrounded by echoes of the past—her ancestors, the resurrected, the cursed. As the flames rise, so does a new question: If evil is in the blood… can it ever truly burn away?
