Všetko sa začne celkom nevinne: jedného večera zaviní James Ballard autonehodu, pri ktorej sa zoznámi s doktorkou Helen Remington. Z nehody vyviaznu živí, ale blízkosť smrteľného nebezpečenstva ich navždy poznamená – obaja prežili pri nehode pocity blízke orgazmu a ich rekonvalescencia sa končí spontánnou súložou v troskách havarovaného auta. Fantastický zážitok ich donúti zblížiť sa s ďalšími ľuďmi, ktorí majú podobné skúsenosti. Medzi nimi vyniká Vaughan, ktorý odpočúva policajnú vysielačku a v noci obchádza miesta smrteľných nehôd. James a jeho manželka Helen čoraz viac prepadávajú sexu pri haváriách a po nich. Jedného dňa však príde s orgazmom aj smrť.
