Late Shift is presented much like a regular movie. During the film, the player is able to make choices on behalf of the protagonist. The presentation doesn't pause during the decision-making process, so viewers must react in real-time. There are 180 choice points in the feature-film, and the user interaction influences characters and the events of the game and lead the story to one of seven different endings.

The main protagonist is Matt Thompson, a college student who works as a parking lot attendant in London. One night, an armed robbery crew steals a BMW i8 from the garage to later use as a getaway car, and Matt is kidnapped by them in the process. Because one of the robbers broke his arm and they can't find a replacement in time, they coerce Matt into participating in the robbery with them. Their target is a centuries-old Chinese porcelain rice bowl that historically belonged to the Tchoi family, but is now being auctioned off by British steel magnate Samuel Parr at the auction house Hainsworth's. The Tchoi family attend the auction and win the bid for the bowl, but the crew assaults Hainsworth's employee Sebastian Leclerc in the basement for the bowl and escape. However, their van is run off a bridge by another car, overturns and catches fire. Matt and a young woman from the crew, May-Ling, are the only survivors and leave with the bowl intact - based on the player's decisions, Matt has the opportunity to cooperate, befriend and even become romantic with May-Ling. Depending on the player's choices, it can be revealed that Parr previously paid May-Ling to forge a copy of the bowl, and also paid Leclerc to swap the bowls and hide the real one in a separate auction item that Parr bought. May-Ling also surmises that Parr orchestrated their car accident, because the van catching fire would have made the fake bowl identical to the real one under thermoluminescence. The player's choices influence the events of the game and can lead to 7 different endings.
