Smile 2 stars Naomie Scott as troubled pop star Skye Riley. Fresh out of rehab, and one year removed from a car accident that killed her movie star boyfriend, Paul (Ray Nicholson), Skye is re-entering public life and launching a new tour and record. It’s not an easy time, Skye is still struggling with back pain from the accident while also undergoing grueling hours of choreography for the tour. With that in mind, she’s secretly been visiting a former High School friend turned high end drug dealer, Lewis (Lukas Gage). Lewis is hooking her up with Vicodin to help her work through her pain. 

In need of a new supply, Skye arranges to go to Lewis’ apartment but what she finds there is a completely unhinged Lewis who is seeing something that only he can see. Sweating, screaming, and panicking, Lewis goes on to kill himself right in front of Skye by smashing his own face in with a barbell weight. It’s shocking and graphic, and worse yet for Skye, it’s the result of a curse that was passed to Lewis and is now passed to Skye. This curse causes the subject to slowly unravel mentally until they too end up killing themselves and passing the curse to someone who witnesses their death.
