The world is plagued by a mysterious force that manipulates people's negative emotions, leading them to commit suicide. The film starts in a dimly lit skating rink in Barcelona where Sebastian watches his daughter Anna skate. Sebastian and Anna are attacked by a group of blind intruders seeking their supplies. After the attackers leave, Sebastian and Anna, wearing blindfolds, venture outside into the sunlight.
They encounter a group of survivors, and Sebastian expresses his desire to join them. He reveals his background as a former construction engineer and states he knows where they can find generators that can provide light and heating. Sebastian instructs Anna to only come to him when called. Inside a bus terminus/warehouse, he meets the rest of the group and is told in the past some members were attacked by "seers" – individuals seemingly unaffected by the malevolent entity who try to get others to see the entity.
The next morning, with everyone asleep inside a bus, Sebastian locks the driver's compartment, starts the engine and drives the bus outside. Everyone is left without blindfolds and several are injured. Sebastian is revealed as a seer who believes the entity is a divine being saving humanity through death. His daughter is actually an apparition who pushes him to get others to face the creature. Following Anna's instructions, Sebastian leads each member to open their eyes one by one. Upon witnessing the entity, each person takes their own life.
