Members of a cult, modeled on Aum Shinrikyo, sabotage a city's water supply, then commit mass suicide near the shores of a lake. Family members (the credited cast, minus Asano) of the perpetrators meet at the lake to observe the anniversary of their loved ones' deaths. They meet a former member of the cult (Asano), who had trained for the water sabotage attack but defected at the last minute. He leads them to the cabin he's currently holed up in, where he and the deceased cult members had trained for the attack, and they pass the night reminiscing about those they'd known and lost, shown cinematically through improvised dialogues and flashbacks. Sakata, the aforementioned surviving cult and last to see most of the departed alive, and Atsushi (Arata) interrogate one another about Yûko (played by actress/model Ryo), Atsushi's sister, whom Sakata had asked to run away with him the night before the attack.

Jadis cascadeur célèbre, Christopher Bergham a causé un accident où sa femme Bella, qui était sa partenaire dans ce numéro périlleux, a trouvé la mort . Trois ans plus tard, alors qu'il est toujours hanté par ce souvenir, c'est sous le nom de Berg qu'il est employé comme patrouilleur de nuit dans une société de police privée. Leandro le frère de Bella, qui était en fait à l'origine indirecte de l'accident, s'introduit dans la société "La Veillance", dont le patron La Rocca est peu regardant sur le passé de ses employés pourvu qu'ils soient capables d'affronter les événements violents des missions de nuit. Leandro comprenant que les rapports au sein du groupe de policiers sont tendus et fréquemment susceptibles de dégénérer, exploite un incident violent entre Berg et un de ses collègues : une nuit, Berg blesse Garcia qui était en train de violer Mimi, une employée de La Veillance. Leandro saisit l'occasion pour tuer Garcia et faire porter la responsabilité du meurtre à Berg. Bien que La Rocca tente de les exhorter au calme en décidant de confier l'affaire à la police, tous les patrouilleurs de nuit tombent d'accord pour prendre Berg en chasse afin de régler leur compte avec lui. Berg, pilote émérite, prend la fuite en compagnie de son coéquipier Nino et de Mimi. Après plusieurs étapes, le groupe trouve refuge à la fin de la nuit dans le Palais omnisports de Bercy, où entre échanges de coups de feu et divisions entre les poursuivants, Berg se trouve finalement amené à affronter Leandro seul à seul.
