The film is based on Gege Akutami's manga of the same name, published by Viz Media in English, and it follows high school student Yuta Okkotsu who is haunted by the cursed spirit of Rika Orimoto, his childhood friend who died in a tragic accident.

Jujutsu sorcerer Satoru Gojo takes Yuta under his wing and brings him to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School so that he may learn how to control Rika's fearsome power, and not be controlled by it.
