在这部风筝动作片中,《少女杀手》的故事（Kite）改编自日本梅津泰臣1998年的同名动漫作品。在一座犯罪团伙横行的“罪恶之城”中，少女Sawa（埃斯利）的母亲，以及当警察的父亲遭遇残忍杀害，Sawa遂成为少女杀手，势要将犯罪团伙成员除尽，找到团伙的首脑埃米尔（Emir）报仇雪恨。
Never Underestimate a Girl with Nothing to Lose. Based on the groundbreaking, cult classic anime, KITE tells the story of Sawa (India Eisley,"The Secret Life of the American Teenager," Underworld: Awakening), a young woman living in a corrupt society where crime and gangs terrorize the streets. When Sawa's mother and policeman father are found victims of a grisly double homicide, she begins a ruthless pursuit for the man who murdered them. With the help of her father's ex-partner, Karl Aker (Samuel L. Jackson, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Avengers, Django Unchained), and a mysterious friend from her past (Callan McAuliffe, The Great Gatsby, I Am Number Four), she becomes a merciless teen assassin, blasting her way through the dark world of human trafficking only to uncover a devastating truth.
