Following the events of Ring, the body of Ryuji Takayama, former husband of Reiko Asakawa and father of Yoichi Asakawa, is examined by his friend and rival, pathologist Mitsuo Andou. After he finds a cryptic note in Takayama's stomach, Reiko and Yoichi also turn up dead. Andou soon learns of a mysterious cursed videotape, haunted by the spirit of a murdered young woman. Rumor has it that anyone who watches the video will die exactly one week later. Despondent over the death of his own child, and believing that he is being guided by his rival's ghost, Andou decides to see the video for himself. After watching the tape, strange things begin to happen around him, and he soon discovers that the tape's restless spirit has different plans in store for him.
