Wide-eyed Elektra Natchios arrives at Columbia University with a fourth-degree black belt in karate, but something of a white belt in life experience. Raised by a loving single father in Queens and a martial arts master in the dojo, Elektra rises to the challenges of freshman year without fear. But her first brush with a campus menace named Trey is nothing compared to the romantic free-fall she plunges into when she meets Matthew Murdock, a pre-law student who just happens to be blind... and more than he appears.
