Plot

A troubled police detective Huang Huo-tu suffers from a severe mental breakdown as his life is falling apart. He is relegated to a mundane job as a Foreign Affairs Officer as a payback for blowing the whistle on in the force. His young daughter is suffering from the fallout of being held hostage in a police crossfire. His fellow colleagues have turned on him and his wife Ching-fang is filing for divorce.

Suddenly, a series of bizarre deaths in Taipei baffle local investigators. An FBI agent Kevin Richter is called in to solve the murders. He is the topmost serial killer expert in the field, but even he cannot explain the seemingly supernatural circumstances surrounding the crime scenes. For example, in one case a businessman froze to death in his office - in the middle of a heatwave; the mistress of a prominent official calls the fire department and is later found burned to death - with no sign of fire in her apartment. Richter partners with Huang who has less trouble believing that something supernatural is behind them, and on that angle he persuades him to investigate a local cult. They discover increasingly disturbing evidence that there are possible demonic forces at work.
