Among normal humans live the "Others" possessing various supernatural
powers. They are divided up into the forces of light and the forces of the
dark,
who signed a truce several centuries ago to end a devastating battle. Ever
since, the forces of light govern the day while the night belongs to their dark
opponents. In modern day Moscow the dark Others actually roam the night
as vampires while a "Night Watch" of light forces, among them Anton, the
movie's protagonist, try to control them and limit their outrage.
