The premise

10 years has passed since the confrontation between Kira and L. Again, Shinigami sends death notes to the ground and due to this, the world soon falls into chaos. Tsukuru is a member of the Death Note special task force team with 6 other investigators including Matsuda who experienced the Kira case of 10 years ago. Mass murders caused by the death note takes place on Wall Street in the U.S., Shibuya in Japan and other places. World famous private investigator Ryuzaki, who is the rightful successor of L, also investigates the mass murders. They discover that 6 death notes exists in the world. A computer virus called Kira spreads in the world. A message in the Kira virus says to turn in 6 death notes. A person who has 6 death notes overwhelm the world. The confrontation begins between the person who wants Kira’s revival and the people who want to stop it.

Horror Vault's take

A decade after the legendary Kira case shook the world, supernatural death notebooks resurface and trigger a new wave of mass killings across the globe. A special task force — joined by a mysterious new investigator who carries L's legacy — races to track down six Death Notes before a single power-hungry individual can claim them all. A deadly digital plague bearing Kira's name complicates the hunt, blurring the line between justice and terror. This sequel raises the stakes of the original's cat-and-mouse formula by multiplying the threats and the players.
