The film follows Barbara Gordon was Batgirl until she was paralyzed after The Joker shot her. After retirement from the superhero business, she'll have to decide if she's ready to be a hero again after she ends up with Cassandra Cain, a mute 13 year old girl, pleading for her protection.

### Batgirl No More

After being shot by Joker, Barbara Gordon retired as Batgirl and enjoys going to a nightclub owned by ruthless crime lord Roman Sionis and meets and befriends the burlesque singer Dinah Lance, who is Sionis' driver.

### The Crossbow Killer Case

Meanwhile, GCPD Detective Renee Montoya investigates a series of mob killings carried out by a crossbow-wielding vigilante. She tries to recruit Dinah as an informant, but she rejects the offer, as the GCPD wasn't there to prevent her mother's death.

### The Pickpocket

Sionis sends Dinah and his sadistic right-hand-man Victor Zsasz to retrieve a diamond embedded with the account numbers to the fortune of the Bertinelli crime family, who were massacred years ago. Young pickpocket Cassandra "Cass" Cain steals the diamond from Zsasz and swallows it after she is arrested.

### GCPD Raid

Sionis sends Katana, a member of The Suicide Squad to break into GCPD Station to get Cain and to recover the diamond for him, under the threat of death, and also places a bounty on Cassandra. Katana raid into The GCPD Station to get Cain but Babs discover it and hacked into the station and freed Cain and the pair escape.

### Huntress

While hiding out in Babs' apartment, they bond and Cassandra saw that Babs is Batgirl, she wants Babs' to return to crime fighting but can't because after Joker shot her and paralyzed her. Doc, the man who took in Harley Quinn is approached for information by the "crossbow killer", who is revealed to be Helena Bertinelli. Having survived her family's massacre and becoming trained as an assassin, Helena has been targeting each of the gangsters responsible for her family's murders, preferring the moniker "Huntress".

### House Invasion

Bab's place is later bombed by criminals looking for Cassandra, so Babs take Cain out of Gotham for good but was confronted by Katana, who wants Cain. Barbara begs her to let them go and Katana let them go.

### The Final Fight Against Black Mask

Black Mask learns about Gordon and Cain are headed out of town and goes there to confront them. Dinah notifies Montoya of the rendezvous, but her betrayal is noticed by Zsasz, who informs Sionis. A devastated Sionis dons his ritualistic mask from which he gets his nickname, "Black Mask".

At the borders of Gotham, Montoya and Katana arrives and meet Babs and Cain but Zsasz arrives and holds Dinah at gunpoint, but he is killed by Helena, who reveals he was the last of her family's killers.

Montoya reveals that Sionis was the true mastermind behind the Bertinellis's massacre. He had them killed trying to get the diamond. A stand-off ensues until they realize Sionis has arrived with a small army of masked criminals. Using Babs' old gear, the makeshift team of six women withstand and repel the attack.

During the battle, Cassandra is captured by Sionis, while Dinah reveals her metahuman ability of supersonic-level screaming, defeating several of the mobsters. Babs gives chase and with assistance from Helena, the pair pursue Sionis. At a nearby pier, Sionis prepares to kill Cassandra, who pulls the ring from a grenade that she took from the weapons chest. Babs threw it at a tank and causes an explosion along with Sionis. Babs and Cain escape from the explosion.

### The Birds of Prey

In the aftermath of destroying Sionis' criminal empire, Montoya quits the GCPD. Using the money within the accounts hidden inside the diamond, Helena joins with Dinah, Katana, Cain, and Montoya in establishing a team of vigilantes called the Birds of Prey.
