In the town of Kurouzu-cho, Kirie Goshima leads an ordinary life with her family. While walking to the train station to meet her boyfriend Shuuichi Saito, she glimpses his father staring at a snail shell in an alley. Dismissing it as trivial, she tells Shuuichi about the encounter, and he confides that his father has been behaving strangely lately. Shuuichi expresses a growing urge to leave the town with Kirie, claiming the town is tainted by spirals. However, his father's fixation on the shape soon turns lethal, setting off a series of horrific and inexplicable occurrences that drives the inhabitants of Kurouzu-cho into madness.
