A brutal gang war rages in Gotham City. After a tragic mistake, the police feel that they can no longer trust Batman, so the Commissioner makes a fateful decision - the Dark Knight is now a wanted man, and the famous Bat-Signal is removed from the roof of headquarters. But it couldn't have come at a worse time, as the Major Crimes Unit has to face a super-villain they've never dealt with before, and a good cop's life hangs in the balance. As the events of the gang war take their toll on detectives Renee Montoya and Crispus Allen, the two partners set events in motion that will change their lives forever. To keep Gotham safe without Batman's help, Allen and Montoya will have to make some very powerful enemies... and face some hard truths about their darkest secrets.
