Synopsis: Shinobi, great ninja, who after being dishonorably discharged from his dojo is trying to find a job in the modern world in order to take care of his daughter. Due to years of extensive training, Shinobi has the skills of a trained assassin ingrained in him and is desperately trying to integrate them into his new line of work. He attempts to fit into a contemporary society, but that proves to be unsuccessful as he is too stuck in the past. Consequently, he gets fired from many jobs over a small period of time. One night, after another disappointing turnout at a new job, he returns to find an intruder holding his daughter hostage. Shinobi must find the great ninja within him to be the hero he was always meant to be.
