Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Former security guard Mike and police officer Vanessa hide the truth about the fate of her favorite animatronics from 11-year-old Abby.

But when the girl secretly runs away to see Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy again, she inadvertently sets in motion a chain of events that brings ancient and very dangerous secrets back to life.
