Synopsis
The film opens on the events of the first film in 2022. A masked purger taunts a young Charlie Roan and her family. He then kills the entire family but leaves Charlie alive.Eighteen years later, two days before the Purge, riots are breaking out all over Washington, D.C., claiming that the New Founding Fathers are using the Purge to help their economic agenda; likely thanks to the last film. This is having a great effect on the upcoming Presidential election. Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), now a Senator who is gaining ground over the NFFA's candidate, Minister Edwidge Owens (Kyle Secor). The NFFA, headed by Caleb Warrens (Raymond J. Barry), view Roan as a threat to their rule and plan to use the upcoming Purge to eliminate her from play. Meanwhile, Roan and Owens attend a debate and, while Owens states how America's crime rates are lowering, Roan gets a standing ovation after she declares the Purge only serves to eliminate the poor and benefit the rich and powerful, after which she then breaks security protocol, by stepping into the audience. Deli and convenience store owner Joe Dixon (Mykelti Williamson), his assistant Marcos Dalie (Joseph Julian Soria), and EMT Laney Rucker (Betty Gabriel) watch the debate. While Joe and Laney believe she doesn't have a chance, Marcos states that she would win and make more changes.
