Kirie Goshima, a schoolgirl in the town of Kurouzucho, becomes concerned with her boyfriend Shuichi Saito’s father who has become obsessed with collecting and staring at spiral patterns to the ignorance of all else. After Shuichi’s father kills himself inside a washing machine, his cremated remains hang over the town in a giant cloud. The obsessive behaviour starts to spread to Kirie’s father and others, while all around the town people start bodily mutating into spiral creatures. 

Kurozu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It manifests itself in small ways: seashells, ferns, whirlpools in water, whirlwinds in air. And in large ways: the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father, the voice from the cochlea in your inner ear. As the madness spreads, the inhabitants of Kurouzu-cho are pulled ever deeper, as if into a whirlpool from which there is no return...
