He returns to aid Josh and Dalton in their battle against the menacing Lipstick Demon, the antagonist from the first film. Their mission is to seal the red door, the gateway to The Further, but Ben makes a sacrificial act to save his son and grandson. The film concludes with Josh and Dalton reuniting with Renai and Foster, under the watchful eye of Elise Rainier from the spirit world.
The movie will be available to stream on Netflix India from October 6.
