Ando Mantaro (played by Koichi Sato), who has a past he cannot bear to reflect on, receives a call from his colleague Miyashita (played by Tsurumi Shingo) early in the morning, informing him of the unexpected death of his friend Takayama Ryuji (played by Hiroyuki Sanada) from medical school. Ando performs an autopsy on Takayama's body, ruling out suicide and homicide, and discovers his friend died of a myocardial infarction. At the police's arrangement, he meets Takayama's lover, Takano Mai (played by Miki Nakatani), who reveals that his friend died because of a videotape. Naturally, Ando does not believe in such vague speculation, but days later, Takayama's ex-wife Asakawa Reiko (played by Nanako Matsushima) and their young son also die in a car accident, and the damaged car's broken video recorder raises Ando's suspicions. Not long after, Asakawa's superior Yoshino (played by Yutaka Matsushige) visits and tells him the whole truth about Sadako and the cursed videotape. Ando's fate is thus changed...This film is adapted from the original work of Koji Suzuki.
