Sin City è una città nera, dove la notte non tramonta mai, abitata da una schiera di personaggi più cupi della notte stessa. Tutti cattivi, ognuno a modo suo: Marv, tenero bestione con un talento creativo per la sofferenza altrui; Kevin, ragazzo emotivo che ritrova la serenità divenendo uno spietato divoratore di esseri umani; la sua abietta guida spirituale il cardinale Roark, padrone della città; Dwight, fascinoso criminale che asseconda il suo destino e dispensa morte a piene mani; Gail, sua amata e regina delle prostitute che governano la città vecchia, donne che danno grande piacere, se si paga bene e si sta alle regole, o grande dolore, se si va oltre il seminato; un bastardo giallo, che violenta e mangia bambine impunito, coperto dal mostro suo padre che è anche Senatore della città, e contrastato solo da Hartigan, uno sbirro sul viale del tramonto disposto ad una carneficina per fermarlo e salvare Nancy, timida ballerina di lap dance.
