Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson, Hell’s Kitchen’s most dedicated defense attorneys, are handed their most controversial case yet: Eddie Brock. Recently separated from the alien symbiote known as Venom, Eddie is on trial to determine if he was responsible for the destruction and chaos caused during the deadly battle between Spider-Man and Kraven. The city wants justice—but Matt wants the truth. As the case unfolds, Matt struggles with conflicting views—can Eddie be held accountable for actions committed under the symbiote’s control? While navigating the courtroom drama by day, Matt patrols the streets as Daredevil by night, where a new threat lurks in the shadows: a deadly assassin known only as Bullseye. Cold, ruthless, and precise, Bullseye has been targeting high-profile politicians tied to corruption, leaving Hell’s Kitchen in a state of fear. As the trial heats up and evidence grows more complicated, Matt must balance justice in the courtroom with vengeance on the streets. When Bullseye’s next target ties directly into Eddie’s past, Matt realizes the two cases are more connected than they seem. In a race against time, Daredevil must stop Bullseye before more blood is shed—and Matt Murdock must uncover whether Eddie Brock is a victim, a villain, or something in between.
