The central figure's a lawyer who, despite being blind, possesses radar‑like sensory abilities that compensate for his lack of sight. By day he practises law, but by night he assumes the identity of a masked vigilante. In this secret role he patrols the streets of New York, confronting and battling the criminal elements that threaten the city. The story unfolds as a classic comic‑book adventure, using the gritty urban backdrop of New York to heighten the tension of the hero's crusade. His extraordinary senses allow him to navigate the city’s rooftops and alleyways, turning his disability into an advantage as he seeks to bring justice to those who operate outside the law. Throughout the film, the juxtaposition of courtroom deliberations and nocturnal patrols underscores the protagonist's commitment to justice in both legal and extralegal arenas. The narrative weaves together moments of tactical combat with scenes of legal strategy, highlighting how his heightened perception informs both his advocacy in the courtroom and his vigilantism on the pavement.
