Ash Vs. Evil Dead Season 2 Premiere Synopsis Released

With only a month to go until its premiere, Starz has released an official synopsis for the first episode of Season 2, which is titled "Home."

The party in Jacksonville is over when Ash, Pablo, and Kelly are summoned by Ruby back to Ash's hometown to form an unlikely alliance. Ash's dad Brock, and the local pub rats give a chilly welcome to the man who's come to save them from evil.

Why the chilly reception? Because in those parts, Ash is known as "Ashy Slashy." The folks from his hometown believe he murdered his friends and his sister in a small cabin. This is, of course, based on the unpleasant events that unfolded in 1981's The Evil Dead.
