Gorilla Grodd is dying from a disease that only the Speed Force can
cure. Allied with Black Hole, Multiplex, Negative Flash and Raijin,
Master of Lightning, Grodd comes to Central City to drain the energy
from all of the speedsters!
In the back of Barry's mind, Grodd is gnawing at his memories and
scratching at scars, inflicting psychic wounds that may have lasting
effects. All the Fastest Man Alive can think about is saving the city
and freeing Iris West, who is finally beginning to trust Barry again.
When Barry loses his speed, it falls to both Wally Wests and the Flash
of China to tackle Grodd and free the city's citizenry. When that proves
futile, Barry is willing to cross lines he has never crossed before to
regain his speed, and turns to Godspeed for help. This pivotal chapter
in the speed saga will leave all of the speedsters fundamentally
changed, and relationships will never be the same again. Can they
survive the fallout from Grodd's desperate gambit?
