A estudante Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) toma conhecimento da lenda aterradora sobre Candyman - um assassino em série com um gancho em lugar de mão, que aparece quando se diz o seu nome cinco vezes em frente a um espelho. As investigações que ela leva a cabo sobre a lenda do Candyman transportam Helen aos sítios onde, segundo as lendas, ele faz as suas aparições. Mas, quando esta ignora os avisos dos habitantes locais, inicia-se uma série de assassínios horrendos. Poderá a lenda ser mesmo real?

There was a time when Japan’s housing projects, or “danchi,” were the dream homes of the masses. They produced a culture of residency unique to Japan, but today, these towers and their residents have aged. It is human nature to wish to deny the present and idealize the past the more one grows older. The man dedicates what life he has left to restoring the past, and chases after his ideal family and danchi. However, like a river, time can never go backwards. Aiming to bring back the danchi of the past for the sake of his granddaughter's future, the man's passion for his contradictory ideal gradually descends into madness.
