Surveillance is about an FBI agent who tries to track down a serial killer in a small town with the aid of three would-be victims. Unfortunately, his job is complicated by the fact that all three have vastly different stories.

Two FBI agents, Elizabeth Anderson (Julia Ormond) and Sam Hallaway (Bill Pullman), arrive at a local police station in the Santa Fe desert to investigate a series of murders and a missing woman. They interrogate three eyewitnesses: Police officer Jack Bennet, the meth-addict Bobbi, and Stephanie, an eight-year-old girl, whose family was murdered by two figures dressed in jumpsuits and latex masks.

As the story is advanced, it is clear that Bennet and his partner are corrupt cops, who enjoy shooting out tires of passing cars, then playing nasty games with the drivers and passengers. Bobbi and her boyfriend saw another druggie overdose, and robbed him of all the drugs they could carry. Stephanie's family are victims of the corrupt cops. As the stepfather is changing tires, a van slams into them, killing Bobbi's boyfriend and Stephanie's stepfather. The murderers in the mask are behind this, and orchestrate for one cop to shoot his partner, thinking he's the villain...
