Thomas watches a commercial for Hands Across America. Years later, an adult Adelaide goes on vacation with her husband, Gabriel “Gabe” Wilson, and their children Zora and Jason. She is apprehensive about the trip, but despite her misgivings, the family meet with their friends Josh and Kitty Tyler and their twin daughters Becca and Lindsey at the beach. On the way there, they witness paramedics taking away the bloody body of an old man holding a sign identical to one she saw on the day of the doppelgänger encounter. That night, Adelaide tells Gabe about her childhood experience, but she is interrupted when the lights go out. Jason notices a ‘family’ of four in the driveway, who soon gain entry into the house. Cornering the Wilsons in their own living room, Jason recognizes the intruders as the Wilsons’ doppelgängers.

Meanwhile, the Tyler family is assaulted and murdered by their own doppelgängers at home. The Wilsons arrive and are assaulted as well, but they manage to overpower and kill the Tylers’ doubles. They turn on the news and learn that the Tethered have been murdering their equivalents across the U. The Wilsons decide to drive along the coast and escape to Mexico. Arriving at the boardwalk, the Wilsons find the townspeople already slaughtered. The road is blocked by a burning car. Jason, realizing it is a trap set by Pluto, orders everyone out of the car.

Before Pluto can ignite the family’s car, Jason moves so that when Pluto mirrors him he walks into the burning car. While the Wilsons are distracted by Pluto burning to death, Red appears and snatches Jason away. Adelaide chases after Red to the funhouse where they first met. Red tells Adelaide that “the Tethered” are actually genetic clones created by the government to control the originals on the surface.
