Fear Street Part Two: 1978 Movie Storyline. On July 12, 1978, Ziggy Berman from Shadyside is accused of stealing by Sheila, a Sunnyvale camper, and her friends. They rope her to a tree and begin to burn her before camp counselors Nick Goode and Kurt intervene. Ziggy’s older sister, Cindy, and her boyfriend Tommy Slater are cleaning the mess hall when Nurse Lane, the mother of Shadyside killer Ruby Lane, attacks Tommy, saying that he will die that night, before she is removed from camp by police.
The Sunnyvale teens believe she was possessed by Sarah Fier, as was her daughter. Cindy and Tommy encounter counselors Alice, Cindy’s former friend, and her boyfriend Arnie. They find Lane’s diary which says that Fier made a deal with the devil by cutting her hand on Satan’s stone, thereby earning eternal life. They also find a map in the diary leading to Fier’s house
