The time is now and Freddy is done slaving for the Devil in hell. He wants something new to do. There are so many new "tough" kids now a days and he wants a challenge. Freddy wants to haunt/kill the new generation on Elm Street. They all know his story by heart and think it's all made up. The kids all get together and hang out, have block parties, etc. They all have to stick together and try to defeat Freddy for the last time.
