Premise
Taking place a year after the first film, Katie is now a college student and is happily dating Jade. Rick has been training himself to use technology and Aaron has become best friends with his neighbor's daughter, Abbey. One day, Mark Bowman, the founder and CEO of PAL Labs, is finishing up a new humanoid, intelligent android called D.E.R.F.A.N. (Discerning, Educated, Robotic, Fast, Artificial Nanobot) that he plans on releasing to the public. But all of a sudden, D.E.R.F.A.N. becomes evil, changes his name to Destructive Evil Robot for Annihilation and Nihilism, and takes over the PAL company. A few days later, D.E.R.F.A.N. builds another humanoid android, B.I.L.L.B.I.S. (Binary Intelligence Lurking, Learning, and Behaving Incredibly Sinisterly) that looks similar to him, and he declares him his assistant. That night, him and B.I.L.L.B.I.S. disguise themselves as businessmen and go to the California College of Film, requesting to see Katie Mitchell. Unfortunately, their request gets denied, so they sneak into Katie's dorm room and kidnap her, then they bring her back to the factory. Katie eventually wakes up in the factory, and D.E.R.F.A.N. explains to her that his name is Derfan Thorne, the CEO of a tech company called "InnoVista" who is looking for her to work for him. However, it doesn't take long for Katie to realize that D.E.R.F.A.N. is a robot who is planning on enslaving her. Katie will have to find a way to avoid this enslavement or else D.E.R.F.A.N. will take over the world and reshape it to his liking.
