Ten years have passed since the killings at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza tore apart Charlie's hometown. She has worked hard to bury those memories, but the anniversary brings her back to face what happened. Charlie's father once owned the restaurant and created its four large animatronic characters that entertained children. When Charlie meets her childhood friends, they decide to visit the old pizza place together. They find the building still stands, though hidden away. The group manages to get inside, but the mechanical animals that once brought them joy have transformed. These robotic creatures now harbor deadly intentions and sinister purposes. Charlie must confront not only her past trauma but also the twisted machines her father built. The animatronics have developed their own murderous plans, turning childhood memories into present danger.
