Plot
In Los Angeles, drug kingpin Judah Earl has mechanic Ashe Corven and his eight-year-old son Danny murdered after they witness a gang of Judah's henchmen murdering a fellow drug dealer, with his gang dumping Ashe and Danny's bodies into the harbor. Sometime after, Judah force OD's one of his dealers for destroying his product without his consent despite the protest that his product was tainted.
The now adult Sarah Mohr works in a tattoo parlor by day and paints surreal images of death and resurrection in her apartment at night. She is haunted by disturbing dreams about Ashe and Danny. After a day's work in the tattoo parlor, Sarah is visited in her apartment by a large crow as she contemplates a ring that was given to her by Eric Draven, the original Crow.
Sarah follows the crow to the harbor at night on All Saints' Day, and witnesses Ashe's resurrection as he franticly escapes from his watery grave before being taken to her apartment. When Sarah tells Ashe he is dead, he panics and runs screaming into the night, ending up at his own home, where he relives the final moments of his life.
