Julia Alexander, managing a struggling art gallery, wants to save her marriage with Tony, a successful, but unfaithful plastic surgeon. The British ex-pats live luxuriously with their 10 year old daughter Isabelle in Spain. Julia is serious in her intentions and persuades Tony to take an intimate boat trip together - she also ends her affair with her lover Matthew. But her best laid plans backfire as young Isabelle secretly stows away on the yacht and during their voyage they encounter another yacht stranded at sea and decide to investigate.

Young art student Hideo paints an unnerving portrait of Tomie, who whispers that she loves him. Inexplicably, he reacts by stabbing her to death with a painting trowel. Two friends, Takumi and Shunichi, arrive on the scene and help him dispose of the body. To cheer him up, the boys take the unwitting murderer to the nearest bar for a party... but a mysterious girl named Tomie shows up, bearing a few odd physical resemblances to the dead girl in the ground.
