Plot: In New York, an African-American hit man follows Hagakure's Way of the Samurai. He lives alone, in simplicity, with pigeons, calling himself Ghost Dog. His retainer, who saved his life eight years' ago, is part of the local mob. When the boss's daughter witnesses one of Ghost Dog's hits, he is expendable. The first victims are his birds, and in response, Ghost Dog goes right at his attackers but does not want to harm his retainer or the young woman. On occasion, he talks with his best friend, a French-speaking Haitian who sells ice cream in the park, and with a child, with whom he discusses books. Can he stay true to his code? And if he does, what is his fate?
