Synopsis[]
A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it comes a new/old terrifying evil. The Wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other ShapeShifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they've ever faced.[2]
Plot[]
15 years after leaving Beacon Hills, Scott McCall now runs an animal shelter in Los Angeles, adjoined to Deaton's new clinic, and is no longer in a relationship with Malia. Lydia works at an energy company in San Francisco, has broken up with Stiles after receiving a recurring vision of his death in a car crash, and has not used her Banshee abilities since. Derek, Malia and Peter now run an auto repair shop, from which Derek's 15-year-old son Eli persistently steals Stiles' disused Jeep. Traumatized by the sight of his Derek's Werewolf form as a young child, Eli suffers from fainting fits whenever he transforms, which hinders his other abilities and has strained his relationship with Derek. Malia has recently begun a casual relationship with Parrish, who is quietly keen for them to become a real couple. Mason has joined the Beacon Hills police force, for whom Derek acts as a supernatural consultant. Liam lives in Japan and works at a restaurant with his kitsune girlfriend Hikari Zhang, and they guard the urn containing the Nogitsune. A hooded figure attacks the restaurant and frees the Nogitsune, with which the figure forms an alliance.
The hooded figure sets numerous fires in the Beacon Hills Preserve, using a chemical accelerant, while Scott, Lydia and Chris Argent receive visions of a ghostly Allison in distress; they theorize her soul is trapped in bardo and cannot move on until they perform a ritual, for which Lydia produces garbled instructions. They return to Beacon Hills along with Jackson, who helps them decipher the remaining instructions. During a full moon, Scott, Lydia and Malia bring a sample of earth from the ground where Allison died at Oak Creek, and the sword of the Oni that killed her, to the Nemeton, which unexpectedly resurrects an unconscious Allison. She awakens in hospital with amnesia, retaining only fragmented memories of her family and their feud with Derek and no recollection of Scott or her other friends. She attacks Malia, Scott and security guards before fleeing.
Deaton realizes the Nogitsune has been possessing Chris and causing the visions of Allison in order to trick Scott's pack into bringing her back from the dead. The Nogitsune uses the Nemeton's power to physically manifest before murdering a Kitsune police officer and harnessing his energies to create nine Oni. It then approaches Allison, offering to help her eliminate Scott, claiming that he destroyed her family. She attacks Derek and Eli at the high school, but Liam and Hikari save Derek, while Allison chases Eli to the auto repair shop. Scott rescues him, and she hunts them both through the woods while in turn being pursued by Chris, Melissa and Peter. Scott confronts Allison on a cliff edge, trying to get her to talk to him, and ultimately lets her stab him with a Wolfsbane-coated dagger and take him to the town's stadium, where a lacrosse match is taking place, to use him as bait for the rest of his Pack. He manages to trigger more of her memories, including some details of their relationship, and she burns the Wolfsbane out of him and forms a truce with him against the Nogitsune.
The Oni abduct Liam, Hikari, Derek, Eli, Noah, Mason and Deaton, and the Nogitsune holds them hostage in an illusionary bardo. While Malia and Parrish gather silver weapons with which to slay the Oni, Lydia and Jackson examine one of the fire scenes, realizing that rowan trees were burned in order to produce Mountain Ash. Lydia realises the culprit is Adrian Harris, who has been in hiding since his apparent murder, blaming Scott's Pack for his misfortunes and plotting revenge against them. The Nogitsunee releases Eli to cause confusion, while Harris surrounds the stadium with Mountain Ash, shoots Jackson, and captures Lydia, forcing her to watch her friends' plight so the Nogitsune can feed on her pain. Scott and Allison fight the Oni while Eli frees the hostages, and Lydia subdues Harris with Jackson's help and produces a scream that fully restores Allison's memories. Scott persuades the Nogitsune to let everyone else go if Allison executes him, and she reluctantly shoots him in the chest with three arrows, but Hikari's Kitsune spirit shields him from harm. Parrish burns through the Mountain Ash, and he, Malia, Melissa, Chris and Peter reach the others in bardo. The reunited Pack kill the Oni while Scott, Derek and Eli overpower the Nogitsune. Derek restrains it until Parrish incinerates them both, with Derek's eyes turning red in his final moments, becoming a True Alpha through his act of self-sacrifice. The bardo illusion dissolves, and the pack reappear in the stadium.
At Derek's funeral, Noah bequeaths ownership of Stiles' Jeep to Eli. Scott resumes his relationship with Allison, although she is struggling to adjust to her resurrection. Parrish has Harris committed to Eichen House.

Future[]
Though the movie was loved by hundreds of fans of the original series, it received mediocre scores in terms of reception for bringing back old antagonists instead of new threats as well as failing to replicate the essence and humor of the original series. Despite criticism towards these flaws, lead actor Tyler Posey announced that he's written a sequel and even has an idea for a third one, touched by the fans constantly desiring to see more of Scott McCall and his pack. However, he also raised the possibility of these new stories being adapted into a sequel television series instead with him as the leader of the project. A continuation show would allow the new storylines of several characters, main and secondary, to be fleshed out more effectively and at a slower pace, contrary to a movie's tight runtime.[3][4]
