Synopsis[]
A young girl named Jenny considers the origins of the ninja, how they rebelled against the order of the day and were created out of intermingling cultures, ideas and disciplines. She then reflects back on her own life: Abusive father, bad neighborhood, drinking, partying, and the punk lifestyle she fell into.
Now a masked ninja, she secretly follows Raphael as he patrols the rooftops. Jenny watches as he almost goes down into the sewers, but stops when he sees a robber holding two women at gunpoint. When one of the women attacks the robber with a broom, Raphael leaps in to stop him from shooting. Jenny uses her phone to photograph him stopping the grocery store robbery and thinks about chaos and order as she reviews the pictures.
