En 2014 à l'aube d'une crise économique les Nouveaux Pères Fondateurs prennent le pouvoir aux États-Unis. Le Dr May Updale propose alors une idée : une Purge. Durant une période de douze heures consécutives toute activité criminelle est permise. Au cours de cette nuit chacun peut ainsi évacuer ses émotions négatives en se vengeant ou plus simplement en s'adonnant à la violence gratuite. Pour le Dr Updale c'est le moyen idéal d'évacuer la violence et la haine et donc de résoudre le problème de la criminalité durant le reste de l'année.
