A sinister threat is invading Tokyo: carnivorous ghouls that look identical to humans and blend in with its population. Reserved college student Ken Kaneki buries his nose in books and avoids news of the growing crisis.
However, the appearance of an attractive woman named Rize Kamishiro shatters his loneliness when she asks him out on a date. While walking home with Rize, Kaneki discovers that she is not as kind as she first seemed, and that she has taken him with sinister intentions.
After a tragic fight, he wakes up in a hospital and discovers that doctors saved his life by transplanting the organs of the now-deceased Rize into his own. Kaneki's body begins to change in horrifying ways, and he transforms into a human-ghoul hybrid.
As he embarks on his terrifying new journey, Kaneki clings to his humanity in the evolving bloody conflict between society's new monsters and the government agents who hunt them.
