Plot
[
edit]
Since the beginning of time, there have been "
Others" – humans endowed with supernatural abilities – and for just as long, the Others have been divided between the forces of Light and Dark. In
Medieval times, the armies of both sides met by chance, and a great battle began. Seeing that neither side had a clear advantage, the two faction leaders, Geser and Zavulon, called a truce and each side commissioned a
police-like force to ensure it was kept; the Light side's force was called the Night Watch and the Dark side's force was called the Day Watch.
In 1992
Moscow, Anton Gorodetsky (
Russian: Антон Городецкий) visits a witch named Daria and asks her to cast a spell to return his wife to him, agreeing that she should miscarry her illegitimate child as part of it. Just as the spell is about to be completed, two figures burst in and restrain Daria, preventing her from completing the spell. When they notice that Anton is able to see them, they realize that he is also an Other.
Twelve years later, Anton has enlisted in the Night Watch. While policing Moscow, he encounters several
portents that Geser says are linked to an ancient prophecy of an immensely powerful Other that will end the
stalemate between Light and Dark, but will be more likely to join the Dark. Anton's investigations lead him to a nurse, Svetlana, whom disaster seems to follow everywhere, and a young boy named Yegor.
