One cold midnight, Kenji was riding on a bicycle on trail in the woods...running away from his own life. When he saw a lady casting "Ushikoku" spell in the woods, a sleepless night begins. To cast 'Ushikoku' spell, the one must nail a doll down to a tree in the midnight shrine. If the spellcaster be seen castiing spell, he or she must kill the witness to complete the spell... On the way running away from the lady through the midnight city, he finds out that no one helps him, his old friends, police, nobody. And soon, everyone starts chasing him, being a part of the spell. Kenji decides to fight. Not for his life, but for his girl with sickness inside her.
