In the middle of the plot of the book series, which was also not published chronologically, the film begins at the point where the protagonist Shiki already has full control over her ability to see the death and souls of the deceased. When a series of suicides among young schoolgirls throws the city into turmoil, Mikiya, Shiki's closest friend, tries to get to the bottom of the problem. He falls into a kind of coma, which causes Shiki to go to the scene of the incident himself. There she sees the ghosts of the deceased girls circling over an abandoned skyscraper. On her way through the building she is attacked by one of the ghosts who gets her prosthetic arm under control. Forced to destroy them, she withdraws.

In the shop of the magician Tōko, she has a new arm made. Meanwhile, the film leaves a lot of time to watch her doing everyday things that she only has to do with one arm. Equipped with an arm replacement, she faces the ghosts and this time also manages to kill the ghost of the leader Kirie and thus break the spell that lies on Mikiya. Meanwhile, the still living "body" of Kirie is found by Tōko. After a conversation with Kirie, who is confined to bed and who has been in hospital for ages, Tōko decides not to do anything. As a result of her robbed soul and the lack of opportunity to enjoy the view over the city, Kirie finally throws herself from the building.
