Spoilers ahead
In 2020, twenty-five years after the events of the second film, a Candyman‑themed gallery event in Los Angeles is hosted by Miguel Velasco and draws in a gallery‑going crowd, including Donna D’Errico as Caroline McKeever, the daughter of Annie Tarrant and Paul McKeever from the earlier film and a direct descendant of the Candyman himself. The atmosphere is charged with superstition and art, as paintings in the gallery seem almost to breathe with a life of their own, and the line between homage and danger begins to blur.
