Ben Shaw and his new wife Jane leave New York for Tokyo, Japan, where Ben has a job as a photographer. While traveling, Jane accidentally hits a girl in the middle of the wilderness. Later they start to find mysterious lights in their photos. Ben begins to complain of severe shoulder pain, and his friends begin to comment he's looking bent and hunched over, though the doctor he goes to see can find no cause. Ben's assistant takes them to her ex-boyfriend, who runs a magazine on the paranormal, revealing the lights are spirits of the dead. They then go to a psychic, Murase, who Ben soon claims is a hack and refuses to translate what he says.
Noticing light has gathered beneath a window of an office building in a photo, Jane goes inside the office where the light is coming from and takes photos. She encounters the girl's spirit, learns her name is Megumi Tanaka and that Ben knew her. When Jane confronts Ben, he admits that he and Megumi were once in a relationship but when her father died she became very obsessive and clingy. He eventually dumped her with help from his two friends, Adam and Bruno. Jane is upset with Ben and decides that they need to find Megumi.
They go to Megumi's home and find her decayed body; she had committed suicide with potassium cyanide. Elsewhere, Ben's friends Adam and Bruno are killed by Megumi. Adam's eye is torn out while shooting pictures and he dies from shock; Bruno kills himself by jumping from his apartment. Finally, Ben is attacked by the ghost of Megumi who attempts to choke him. After nearly throwing Jane through a nearby window, Megumi stops, leaving Ben alive.
After Megumi's funeral, Ben and Jane return to New York. Jane finds some recent photos showing Megumi walking into their closet. Inside, she finds a locked box containing an explicit video, taken by Ben, of Adam and Bruno with Megumi. When Jane confronts him, Ben reveals that he couldn't get Megumi to leave him alone, so they drugged her and took pictures that appeared to show Megumi sleeping with them, intending to use them to blackmail her. But Adam and Bruno took it too far and had raped her, with Ben making no effort to stop them. This traumatizing incident is what had driven Megumi to commit to suicide. This is also revealed to be the reason Ben had refused to translate the psychic, as he had seen this and tried to tell them. Disgusted by Ben's actions and realizing that Megumi had actually been trying to warn her, Jane leaves him.
Angered, Ben begins photographing the apartment looking for Megumi. After throwing the camera across the room, it takes a picture of him, showing Megumi sitting on his shoulders. The movie pans back to the hospital where a nurse is weighing Ben, showing 275 pounds, the weight of two people. In an effort to rid himself of her, he electrocutes himself. Rendered completely catatonic, he is sent to a mental institution. In the final scene, we are shown his reflection in the glass on his door, revealing Megumi leaning on his back.
