Will Dormer (Al Pacino) and his partner Hap Eckhart (Martin Donovan) arrive in the sunless town of Alaska, far from Los Angeles, to investigate the case of a 17-year-old girl who was brutally beaten to death. A female police officer in Alaska, Ellie Burr (Hilary Swank), is genuinely impressed by Dormer's investigative methods and strives to learn during the case. At this moment, Dormer is actually in trouble; he caught a suspect in Los Angeles but had to fabricate false evidence to secure a conviction, and the matter is now under investigation by the Department of Internal Affairs. Hap wants to come clean to the Department and believes it would be good for Dormer, but Dormer does not agree.
During a trap set to lure the real culprit, Dormer mistakenly shoots Hap in the fog; Hap believes before he dies that Dormer shot him intentionally. When recounting the incident, Dormer instinctively says that the gun was fired by the murderer. However, under the pressure of his conscience and the sunless environment, he develops severe insomnia. At this point, someone begins to call him, claiming to have seen everything that happened in the fog. Dormer eventually identifies the killer as detective novelist Walter Finch (Robin Williams), who has no intention of playing hide and seek with him.
A psychological and moral confrontation begins.
