The seemingly endless night shrouds the dilapidated and cold modern metropolis, and the air is filled with an ominous atmosphere. John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) wakes up in a bathtub in a hotel. He has no impression of what happened before, and even forgets his identity and name. The mysterious phone call, the cold corpse and the unidentified pursuer made him at a loss. With only a few clues, he began to trace his identity and the cause of all this chaos. The bizarre side of this dark world is also slowly unveiled in his investigation...
