A man with a gunshot wound is being pursued by the police in the dead of night. He collapses on the side of a road, where passersby notice him but avoid taking any action. A medical student comes across the bleeding man and tries to get him medical help, but to no avail. Finally realizing that he has no other option than to take matter into his own hands, he takes the stranger to his house and saves his life. This act comes to haunt him as his entire family is taken into police custody for aiding and abetting a criminal on the loose. The rest of the story is about how the medical student becomes tangled up in the cat-and-mouse game between the cops and the killer.
