Un tueur en série solitaire atteint de TOC, Jack, sévit dans l'état de Washington dans les années 1970 et 1980 pendant les mêmes années que le tueur à gages dit « Ice Man ». Ingénieur perfectionniste, surnommé « Monsieur Sophistication » en raison de sa maniaquerie et de sa passion pour la mise en scène de ses assassinats, il cherche à commettre le crime parfait tout en considérant chaque meurtre en soi comme une œuvre d'art. Alors que la police s'apprête à l'arrêter dans la chambre froide où il stocke ses victimes, Verge (qui est en fait Virgile) lui apparaît et le guide vers les enfers. Lors de leur voyage, Jack lui raconte son histoire personnelle coupée en cinq chapitres, chacun desquels est fondé sur un meurtre en particulier.

Le gouvernement américain a déclenché une série d'attaques chimiques mortelles sur son propre peuple. Le monde est ravagé tandis que les morts se comptent par millions. Dans une Amérique plongée dans un chaos permanent, les survivants sont désormais divisés en deux clans : les « domestiques », des gens immunisés refusant de céder à la violence, et les sauvages, des gangs ou pillards hostiles qui font la loi en traquant leurs ennemis pacifistes. Un jeune couple de « domestiques », Mark et Nina, tentent de rallier la maison de leurs parents à Milwaukee, une ville jugée plus sûre. Mais leur route s'avère vite dangereuse et longue. En chemin, alors qu'ils sont traqués par les bandes de hors-la-loi assoiffées de sang, ils nouent des alliances avec d'autres groupes, seul moyen de survivre sans perdre son âme.

New York Times reporter Chelsea Brown is spending a day interviewing comedian and recovering alcoholic Andre Allen, star of the hit film franchise Hammy The Bear, about a cop in a bear suit. He is attempting a foray into serious films with Uprize, in which he portrays Haitian Revolution figure Dutty Boukman, and sensitive to criticism, particularly by Times critic James Nielson, whose previous reviews of Andre's work have been negative and insulting. As the interview begins in his limousine, Andre recalls his lowest point, when he was in Houston in 2003 and met Jazzy Dee, who supplied him with drugs, alcohol and women. Yet after Jazzy refused to pay the women, they contended they were raped, leading to Andre's arrest.

The film begins with an introductory sequence involving the main characters and images from space and introducing many of the film's visual leitmotifs. These are motifs of virtually still images revealing the key elements of the film: Justine the bride in deep melancholy with birds falling behind her; of a lawn with trees and sundial with two different shadows; Pieter Breughel's Hunters in the Snow (often used as interpretation of an idealised nostalgia) burning; the non existent 19th hole (limbo) and the Black Horse collapsing catastrophically in slow motion (Id, ego and super-ego battle); Justine as a bride being swept along by a river; and her being held back by her wedding dress; and finally Justine and her nephew building their magic cave before the Earth crashes into Melancholia becoming one.
