Plot (borrows much from Man Without Fear & Born Again):
Our story begins with a background of young Matt Murdock and his father Jack's relationship. Matt gets the radioactive waste tossed in his eyes, blinding him. Jack agrees to throw a match to a crime boss nicknamed "The Owl" for paying the hospital bills. Realizing he can't go through with the dive, he wins. Owl has one of his men murder Jack. Without a father, Matt is taken in by a blind man named Stick. Stick trains and disciplines Matt's newfound abilities, where he mentions an ex-student he once had (later revealed to be Elektra). Unbeknownst to Stick, Matt has every intention on using his new abilities to get revenge on his father's murderer.
On the night Matt decides to take names, he wears his father's own boxing gear, and creates a mask out of his robe (Jack's shtick in the ring was that he was the devil).. Eventually he finds the man who killed Jack after either killing or mortally wounding his cohorts, but has a heart attack due to the fear Matt struck on him. The last thing he said before he died was "The devil! The f^%$ing Devil!." Terrified with himself, Matt rushes back to his home. On his way back home after the tragic events, Stick revealed that he'd been following him, and that he's disappointed. With Matt begging for mercy, Stick leaves.
Flash-forward to Matt's college years at Columbia University. His best friend and roommate is Foggy Nelson. They're studying to become criminal justice lawyers. In college, Matt meets and falls for Elektra Nachios, the daughter of a Greek diplomat. Elektra is very secretive, so Matt decides to check her out. Her stealth and moves impress Matt, and once she catches on to his following her, she allows it, being impressed that he can keep up. Elektra reveals to Matt that she's on the look-out for the Owl. Matt, on the same mission, helps her. They find him, and they beat him. Elektra, however, decides to kill him, despite Matt's strong protest. Matt disowns Elektra, and they part ways. News travels that the Owl is dead, and so Wilson Fisk rises up as the new lead crime boss. In order to avoid the same fate as the Owl, Fisk believes that he must recruit Elektra and Matt as his assassins. If they refuse, they get killed by Fisk's "employee" the Gladiator. Matt's last confrontation with Elektra changed his whole outlook on crime. The legal system is flawed, so he believes it's his duty to take the law into his own hands. Donned in an updated red costume, he'd fight crime by night as Daredevil. By day, he was a lawyer at Nelson&Murdock. He meets and falls deeply in love with Karen Page, his receptionist. Eventually, Matt reveals to Karen who he really is.
One night on patrol, Murock is knocked out by the Gladiator. When he wakes, he's confronted by Wilson Fisk. Matt of course rejects his offer, and defeats Gladiator. Fisk orders for his other assassin to sick Matt. Unfortunately, it's Elektra. Elektra, surprised and disappointed, holds back on fighting Matt. With this, Matt escapes. At work, Matt stays up day and night to try to find dirt on Fisk. During this time, however, Fisk has Page kidnapped. He beats her, drugs her, and eventually, breaks her. She tells Fisk everything: Matt's Daredevil. Fisk kicks Page to the curb, where Matt eventually finds her. She's alive, but she's in critical condition. She murmurs "He knows..." before she blacks out. Matt rushes her to the hospital. At the hospital, Matt's confronted by Elektra. Not wanting to break his cover, Matt tells her everything that's on his mind, including what a traitorous bitch Elektra is. Elektra warns him that Fisk knows everything and that he better watch himself. Furious, Matt decides to bring the Kingpin down tonight.
He makes it to Fisk's headquarters, demolishing his way through Kingpins guards. He makes his way towards a bloodlusted Gladiator. They have a savage, brutal fight, almost destroying Matt's costume. His mask is half-off. Fisk orders Elektra to finish the job, and the two fight. Neither of them want to kill each other, but Elektra quickly gains the upper hand after breaking one of his arms. Just before she finishes Matt off, she turns around and slashes Fisk with one of her sais. She's on the verge of tears because she's disgusted in the woman she's become, almost killing her ex-lover for this degenerate. Enraged, Fisk lashes out on her. Matt quickly snaps back into action, and with the combined forces of Matt and Elektra, they manage to beat the Kingpin. Matt asks Elektra if she's going to kill him, but then she replies with "I would love nothing more... but I've already lost someone important that way." She kisses Matt, and flees. Before Matt leaves, Fisk tells him that he'll go to the presses because he knows who he is. Matt looks him in the eyes and says "No one will ever believe that the mighty Kingpin was almost killed by a blind lawyer and a ninja." smiling and satisfied, Matt goes to the hospital after cleaning himself up.
Flash forward to Matt and Karen in their apartment. Kingpin's in jail, and everything seems like it's back to normal. Karen confesses that she can't be with Matt anymore, and that she's moving to CA. Distraught, Matt accepts it. If it wasn't for him and his secrets, Karen would've never been through that horrific ordeal. A few weeks later, Matt and Foggy are sitting in their favorite diner, with Foggy trying to cheer him up. All Matt can think about is Karen and Kingpin and Elektra. He looks at Foggy, remembering that that's his best friend in the world, and says, "Hey, Fog? There's something you gotta know."

Post credit scene:
17 Months Later
Kingpin is sitting in his office, speaking to someone in the shadows about how he'd been in prison and why he'd been there in the first place. He says that he "needs these two taken care of," handing him Elektra and Matt's pictures. "Kill their associates, kill their families, then, kill their spirit. This assignment will be worth your while. An opportunity that shall not be missed." The man in the shadows steps out, and throws the toothpick he's using in a perfect angle, pinning the cigar Fisk's smoking to the wall. The camera cuts to the man's face, revealing it to be Bullseye. "I never miss."
End.
