Two neurosurgeons, Etsuko Ōta and her husband, Yukio, watch a 16mm documentary film of a secret experiment with Japanese, Manchu, and Russian subjects concerning the electrification of the temporal lobe of the brain, ending with the subjects projecting a blinding white light. Their children, Miyuki and Kaori, wake up and watch the film despite Etsuko's insistence for them not to. Years later, a group consisting of Miyuki, Kazushi, Takumi, and Rieko, conduct a mass suicide assisted by Etsuko's assistant, Hattori, though it is actually a masquerade for their initiation to a similar neurosurgery experiment conducted by Etsuko. Miyuki wakes up inside a facility to another of Etsuko's assistants, Hisae, who insists that she has died and is currently astral projecting, even presenting her with her corpse as proof. Miyuki and Rieko are later found to have escaped the facility unnoticed.

Ce film de science-fiction est une dystopie, un voyage dans la vie des habitants d'une ville japonaise où surgissent des événements imprévus et déconcertants qui deviennent de plus en plus ingérables et traumatisants. Etsuko est mariée à Tetsuo qui travaille à l’hôpital. Miyuki est une enfant qui vient se réfugier auprès d'Etsuko en lui demandant de dormir chez elle car elle a vu un fantôme et en a peur, elle ne reconnait plus son père et le fuit. Conduite à l'hôpital, l'enfant est examinée par le Dr Makame, un nouveau chirurgien, qui dit que Miyaki a perdue le concept de famille et que c'est une forme d'amnésie inconnue. Survient Tetsuo le mari d'Etsuko à qui le Dr Makame tend la main et lui serre la main gauche en lui disant que désormais il sera son guide en lui indiquant les personnes à qui il doit observer puis prendre les concepts. Le Dr Makame est en réalité un extraterrestre qui a pris une apparence humaine en habitant un corps humain. Il s'approprie en premier le concept de la famille qu'il a enlevé au père de Miyaki qui de ce fait ne le reconnait plus et le fuit terrorisée ; en prenant son père pour un fantôme. Tetsuo fait ensuite rencontrer son ancien professeur au Dr Makame qui prend les concepts du passé puis du futur au vieux professeur qui s'écroule puis qui réveillé a perdu toute mémoire. Le Dr Makame revoit Etsuko qui reste insensible à sa captation de concepts et devra rester seule vivante, car elle est extraordinaire, lorsque l'invasion des extraterrestres aura lieu. Tetsuo guide ensuite vers d'autres japonais le Dr Makame qui leur prend les concepts de la haine, de la peur de la mort, etc. L'extraterrestre peut agir ensuite à distance et il finit par répandre la mort autour de lui. Tetsuo, son guide, ne peut s'opposer à lui, ni le tuer, ni le fuir, car il souffre alors de plus de son bras gauche malgré l'anesthésiant AccuPlus qu'il a dérobé à l'hôpital. Etsuko qui veut sauver Tetsuo par amour dit au Dr Makame qu'elle finira peut-être par l'aimer un peu car il ignore le concept d'amour. Elle tue à la fin le Dr Makame en lui déchargeant un révolver et celui-ci en mourant dit qu'il n'a pas compris assez le concept d'amour qui unit Etsuko et Tetsuo. Le couple survivant reste embrassé sur terre, mais un cyclone arrive avec des pluies torrentielles et l'invasion commence.

Thirty years before the events of Ring, Akiko Miyaji, a reporter whose fiancé and fellow reporter was killed during Shizuko Yamamura's publicized ESP demonstration years before, interviews Sudo, an elementary school principal and a former teacher of Shizuko's daughter, Sadako, attempting to gain information and evidence that Sadako inherited her mother's nensha powers. Meanwhile, a 19-year-old Sadako joins an acting troupe as an understudy as a therapy to her nightmares suggested by her doctor. Sadako has natural beauty and charisma for the play, infuriating her senior, Aiko Hazuki, whose relationship with the troupe director, Yusaku Shigemori, sours due to the latter's newfound favor for the young trainee. Aiko is later found murdered by a figure in white, thus Sadako takes her place for the upcoming play as the lead character. Sadako attracts and reciprocates the attention of the troupe sound director, Hiroshi Toyama, much to the disappointment of costume designer and Toyama's girlfriend, Etsuko Tachihara. While praised by Shigemori and Toyama, other troupe members grow to distrust and fear Sadako, as they suspect that she is the one who caused Aiko's death and other supernatural occurrences, including strange dreams pertaining to a well and an apparition of a girl in white with long hair very similar to Sadako.
