After losing his sight in an accident at the age of nine, Matt Murdock develops extraordinary sensory acuity thanks to his other senses. By day, he works as a lawyer, but when darkness sets in, he transforms into the superhero Daredevil to fight injustice in New York City, especially in the crime-ridden Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, which has been plagued by crime since it was rebuilt after the Chitauri attack (an event that occurred in the Avengers movie).
