It takes place in a dark mansion late at night. The video starts with shots of the mansion, where a dog is running free. We then see the dog in a room sitting beside Tarja, who is sleeping on a matress. As she tries to pet it, it bites her, leaving a bloody gash. As Tarja walks around the mansion, she comes across a room where there is a black and violet robe sitting on a table. Fascinated by it, she begins to put it on. As her hand passes through the sleeve, her wound is healed and disappears. We then see shots of her in another room, singing and wearing the robe.
Tarja explores the mansion more. She comes across a room with a heavy door. Opening it, many rats come in and she shuts it promptly.
During the middle eight, Tarja comes across a door that is seemingly being pounded against by an unseen entity. When the strings come to a climax, the doors are blown apart with enormous force. We then see the robed Tarja outside, standing amidst a pile of rubble, which is aflame with a mystical blue glow.
The other Tarja then exits the mansion out the front door as a mysterious wind blows in. The video ends with the robed Tarja standing against the rain, after the storm has calmed down.
