The head of a psychological research institute and a lieutenant in the Japanese Air Force are both investigating a mysterious cult known only as ‘Midori no Saru’ (The Green Monkey). Members of this group have committed a string of violent suicide-attacks on military bases and public areas. Part of the mystery seems to involve a young child and an enormous Buddha statue outside Tokyo, but how could all these pieces possibly fit together?

继《催眠》之后，改编自日本著名作家松冈圭佑的另一杰作，《千里眼》讲述神秘的邪教组织「绿猴子」，多次在日本国内的闹市以军事基地发动自杀式暴力袭击，任职心理研究所所长的脑科医生友里佐知子（黑木瞳饰）跟日本自卫队女机帅岬尾由纪（水野美纪饰），均参与调查。仅有的线索指向一位小伙子，以及一座矗立在东京外围的巨型佛像，两位英雄能否凭零碎的片段，砌出背后真相？
