Overview[]

On Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a mob gathers outside local superstore RightMart in preparation for a Black Friday sale. Jessica Wright, whose father Thomas owns the store, lets her friends Gaby, Bobby, Evan, Scuba, and Yulia inside early. The crowd notices them and stampedes into the store in a frenzy. In the ensuing chaos, Amanda Collins, wife of RightMart's manager Mitch, a security guard, and a customer are killed, and Bobby gets his arm shattered. Bobby later moves away from Plymouth.

The following year, RightMart begins preparations for another Black Friday sale. When Bobby returns to Plymouth, a waitress named Lizzie is killed by a figure wearing a John Carver mask. Lizzie's involvement in the RightMart incident leads police to believe those involved are being targeted.

The assailant, now fittingly called "John Carver", tags Jessica and her friends in grisly social media posts. Jessica lends camera footage from the RightMart incident to the town's sheriff, Eric Newlon. Carver kills several more residents involved in the riot, including students Lonnie and Amy, and security guard Manny. Evan and Gaby are soon abducted while Yulia is attacked in her home. Jessica and Scuba make it there but are unable to stop Carver from disemboweling Yulia with a saw. The police attempt to lure Carver out by having the Wright family participate in the Thanksgiving parade. Carver in a different disguise decapitates a mascot and sets off smoke bombs, causing chaos in which he is able to abduct Jessica, her stepmother Kathleen, Thomas, and Scuba.

Kathleen is prepared and cooked alive at Carver's hideout. Her corpse is served as a "turkey" at a table where the hostages and victims' corpses are seated. Carver then bludgeons Evan to death in a livestream in front of the others. Jessica and Scuba escape from the table and Carver chases Jessica through the woods. She then comes upon Eric lying on the pavement and follows signs of movement into a building where parade float materials are being stored. She sees Bobby in the Carver costume but Eric joins her and tells her to go outside. Gunshots are heard but Bobby is not found.

The police inform Jessica that her friends and father are safe. In the sheriff's office, Jessica notices the same debris from the woods that stuck to her clothing is also stuck to the hem of Eric's pants, revealing that he is the killer. Jessica asks Eric why he engaged in his killing spree, and he reveals his motive for the murders: After Eric's wife left him, he met Amanda Collins and had an affair with her. Amanda became pregnant with his child, and she planned to divorce Mitch to be with him. Amanda was pregnant when she was killed during the RightMart incident. Eric then began targeting those he held responsible for the riot, as their negligence and violence caused Amanda's death. Eric had abducted Bobby and placed him in the Carver costume to frame him.

Jessica then reveals to a horrified Eric that she has live-streamed his confession, exposing him as the killer. Eric attacks her, but Bobby intervenes. An enraged Eric attacks again, intent on killing Jessica for ruining his plans and his life. Jessica loads a musket using her mother's bracelet and shoots down a balloon attached to a tank of gas, causing an explosion that engulfs the sheriff. She reunites with Gaby and Scuba while Bobby is taken to the hospital. Authorities are unable to find Eric's body. Reunited with her boyfriend Ryan, Jessica has a nightmare in which she is attacked by a flaming Eric.
