Junko Aoki (Akiko Yada) is a quiet, caring girl who was born with pyrokinesis, the ability to create and control fire with one's mind.

However, her newfound happiness comes to an end when Kazuki’s younger sister Yukie is murdered by a gang of delinquent boys who kill high school girls for sport.

The authorities display a shocking amount of apathy for the situation, and the boys are acquitted due to insufficient evidence and the connections of their ringleader, Masaki Kogure (Hidenori Tokuyama), the son of a district attorney.

It also catches the attention of detectives Ishizu (Kaori Momoi) and Makihara (Ryuji Harada), the latter bearing a mysterious grudge against Junko.

Kaneko made Pyrokinesis in-between two of his kaiju films: Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
