Adam Greens Hatchet II picks up where Hatchet ends. The quiet but hot-tempered Marybeth is in a small boat in the Louisiana swamps, screaming for her life as she tries to free herself from the clutches of the deformed, swamp-dwelling killer Victor Crowley. Crowley murdered Marybeths family and other fellow vacationers who came together on a tourist excursion in the swamplands outside of New Orleans. Marybeth makes it back to civilization, where she once again encounters voodoo shop proprietor Reverend Zombie, who had helped to arrange Marybeth and companys earlier, ill-fated tour of the area. To help Marybeth and also serve his own secret agenda, Reverend Zombie recruits a hardened pack of hunters to seek revenge on Victor Crowley.
