As the assassin Elektra prepares to take a job, she's drawn into the strange tale of a dead blues musician. But the Hand, that ancient, evil mystic order, has an interest in the musician's son -- and that means Elektra will soon be tested as never before.

Elektra, visiting the grave of her father, is met by a weird ninja who she kills, but before he gives Elektra an invitation to a jazz bar.

There, she gets an assignment of killing an unknown person, after hearing a story about a musician who was buried in the same cemetary of Elektra's poppa.
