PLOT: After the Huntress, a vigilante with extreme methods, finally earns the approval of Batman, a mafia capo is suddenly discovered murdered by a crossbow, her weapon of choice. Now as Helena Bertinelli, aided by the mysterious Question, attempts to evade Batman and his allies, she must also prove her innocence and determine who is trying to frame her. Through this adventure we discover how watching her father, a powerful mafia leader, and the rest of her family be murdered, transformed this innocent Catholic girl into a nocturnal figure of vengeance.

ISSUE SUMMARY: "You want justice served? You want vengeance taken? You want honor restored? "Then do it yourself. "That's omerta." So runs the code that the vigilante known as the Huntress has followed all her life. Now, in the aftermath of Gotham City's "No Man's Land," someone is out for Huntress's blood, and her code of omerta is leading her into destruction. What fuels this single-minded devotion to vengeance? How did a little girl named Helena Bertinelli grow up to be the Huntress? Finding out may be the only way that a man called the Question can keep her alive. But even if he can gain her trust, the Question can only push her so far. In the end, only the Huntress can choose which road she will take - the path of justice, or the path of vengeance.
