After being killed, Elektra Natchios is revived by blind martial arts master Stick. He teaches her the ancient art of Kimagure, which provides its practitioners with precognition as well as the ability to resurrect the dead. Elektra is expelled from the training compound because of her inability to let go of her rage and fear of seeing her mother’s killer as a child. She leaves and uses her training to become a contract killer. Years later, Elektra’s agent McCabe receives an unusually large offer from an anonymous client wishing to hire Elektra.
The only stipulation: she must spend a few days in a rented home on the island where the assassination is to be performed before the names of the targets are revealed. During the wait, Elektra catches a girl named Abby trying to steal her mother’s necklace. She sends her away, and later meets and befriends her father, Mark Miller. Abby invites Elektra to Christmas dinner on Mark’s behalf. Elektra develops a romantic interest in Mark but learns that he and Abby are the targets she has been hired to kill. She spares them and leaves, but returns in time to protect them from assassins sent by The Hand, a crime syndicate of ninja mercenaries.
Roshi, master of The Hand, learns of the failed attempt and permits his son Kirigi to lead a new team of assassins to kill Elektra and return with Abby, referred to as “The Treasure”. Elektra tries to leave Abby and Mark with Stick, but he scolds her and tells her to protect them herself. Elektra takes Mark and Abby to McCabe’s country house, but is followed by Kirigi, Typhoid, Stone, Kinkou, and Tattoo. She flees with the pair through a secret underground exit to a forest, while McCabe sacrifices himself to buy them time. Kirigi and the assassins hunt down the trio in the forest.
