Living in bustling mid-1970s New York City, depressed former U.S. Marine Frank Castle loses everything when his family is brutally murdered. But Frank is a nobody amid nobodies. The police brush off his request for justice. As a result, trapped by an increasingly distorted perception of reality, the chronically insomniac lone wolf delves deeper and deeper into a world of obsession and vitriolic revulsion. And as sleep-deprived Frank braces up to clean this filthy city in a flaming manifesto of unbridled violence, his lethal weapons will become the grim messengers of truth. His truth.
