They live among us, but the "Others" have a wide range of supernatural abilities. Some time ago, they agreed to a truce to end a war that was very bad. They are split into forces of light and forces of dark. Since then, the forces of light have been in charge of the day, and the dark forces have been in charge of the night. Night Watch, which includes Anton, the movie's protagonist, is a group of light forces that try to control the dark Others and keep them from getting angry.
