郭丹娜偕同新拍擋調查一個專攝人死相的記者.
丹娜和霍斯被背景調查弄到昏昏欲睡之時,郤副局長介紹丹娜認識來自紐約的新拍擋Peyton Ritter.當Ritter翻查死者舊照時,發現有個叫Alfred Fellig的記者,總是會第一時間去到現場將死者的死相攝下,他覺得Fellig將受害人殺死來替其拍照,以滿足一己私慾.
在紐約北部的一條小巷,一小偷殺死一小孩,小偷發現一人站在太平梯拍照,此人就是Fellig.小偷用刀向其偷襲,Fellig不支倒地.幾分鐘之後,Fellig伸手到身後把刀拔出,蹣跚離去.
Fellig被帶走問話,他否認曾殺人,他只是剛巧在拍照.由於苦無証據,只好放人,但Ritter死心不息,實行二十四小時監視.丹娜在晚上替更,發現Fellig在望著她.她走上Fellig的家問他來龍去脈,他說能預知人的死亡,故每次均早早去到事發現場替死者拍遺容,並邀請丹娜同遊一趟.
當坐了幾個鐘車後,Fellig終於停下並指著一個被調戲的妓女,說她離地獄不遠,丹娜不信,下車替她解圍.妓女鬆人時,剛巧一輛貨車駛過,將她輾死.丹娜大駭,回頭卻見Fellig駕車離去.
霍斯調查Fellig的背景,得知他時常易名,並可追溯到1849年,這証明Fellig有149歲.丹娜再次到Fellig之家.他邀請丹娜到黑房,解釋本來他該蒙主召喚,
但那時他閉上雙眼,讓死神帶走一個命不該絕的護士,致使死神永遠遺忘了他.Fellig希望可從死者的相片中攝到死神,讓自己可看見死神的真面目而死.
在對話中,Fellig發覺丹娜呈現死像,並準備替其拍照.此時有東西進入黑房...原來是Peyton Ritter.Ritter開鎗來個一箭雙鵰,Fellig和丹娜雙雙倒下.當Ritter去求援時,Fellig握著丹娜的手,並叫她閉上雙眼不要看死神,丹娜遵從,死神來到並終於帶走Fellig.
