Barry Allen is a hero. He protects the innocent and battles evil as the Flash - the world's fastest man. But this is not the world he knew. This is a world where Wonder Woman and Aquaman have plunged millions into the darkness of war...where the fastest man alive is just another man.

Barry Allen, aka the Flash, must solve the future murder of one of the Rogues to protect himself and those he loves from the Renegades, 25th-century super-powered police officers who bear a strong resemblance to Commander Cold and the current Rogues. Worse, he has to dodge the future lawmen while working the case because they have come to arrest him for the crime.

When crime no longer paid, they sought payback. Captain Cold, Weather Wizard, Mirror Master and Heat Wave - each honed anger and personal tragedy into a life of crime. Individually, they might seem nothing more than hardened street thugs with fantastic toys. But as the Flash's Rogues, they are men capable of bringing the fastest human alive to a dead stop. The Rogues had been playing a twisted game with the Flash for years - until they broke the rules....
