A gothic revenge fantasy steeped in grief and supernatural darkness, where a murdered musician returns as an avenging angel to punish his killers with stylized, balletic violence.

Exactly one year after young rock guitarist Eric Draven and his fiancée are brutally killed by a ruthless gang of criminals, Draven, watched over by a hypnotic crow, returns from the grave to exact revenge.
