Uma trama que a principio é esquisita, mas bem inventiva, é a chave de partida desse filme que mistura suspense e aventura policial. Um novo tipo de psicopata está solto nas ruas da Holanda. Um homem toma os empregados de uma torre como refém. Sua motivação é um tanto estranha: ele protesta contra os aparelhos de televisores widescreen porque acredita que as faixas negras superiores e inferiores que aparecem na imagem contém mensagens e códigos escondidos. Buscando compreender a loucura do homem, descobre-se que durante anos ele tentou lutar contra esse tipo de aparelho e outras várias tecnologias modernas. O clima está tenso e o dia avança para um final trágico nessa produção que reflete sobre as trágicas consequências da modernidade e da tecnologia.
