Gotham city is teetering on the edge of economic collapse, while being crushed by the inequality of the haves and have not's. Willfully ignorant of the pending social upheaval, the elite of Gotham hide behind luxury and excess as they move from one even to the next, pimping their morals to the tabloids and paparazzi to prove their importance.
A young Bruce Wayne idolizes his father Thomas, who through his corporation Wayne Enterprises, has just finished building Gotham General, which he now tirelessly runs and practices in.
A young officer on the Gotham Police Force watches each night as the have not's fight to take back a piece of what they believe they are owed. As he questions himself, wondering if this is a city worth fighting for, or where he wants to raise a family. Gordon is a man in search of hope while turning a blind eye to the corruption that soils the department he serves.
Gotham's future will hinge on one question. Is being Batman in Bruce Wayne's nature or is it only through the death of his parents that the Dark Knight is born?
