Synopsis
"Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. Barry’s life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry, bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive The Flash."

"But when Barry used his extraordinary abilities to travel back in time and save his mother’s life, he inadvertently created an alternate timeline known as Flashpoint; a phenomenon that gave birth to the villainous speed god known as Savitar, and changed the lives of Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) forever."

"With the help of his adoptive father, Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), his lifelong best friend and love interest Iris West (Candice Patton), and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs — Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), C.S.I Julian Albert (Tom Felton), and an Earth-19 novelist named H.R. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) — Barry continues to protect the people of Central City from the meta-humans that threaten it."

Confirmed plot Points

 * The main villain this season will not be a speedster.
 * The main villain will be DeVoe, who was mentioned in the previous season by Abra Kadabra and Savitar.
 * There will be a four-way crossover with Supergirl, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow.
 * Despite the synopsis confirming that Tom Cavanagh will appear as Harrison "H.R." Wells this season it is unknown how due to the character's death in the Season 3 finale. However, the synopsis was released before the finale so it is possible that it was written incorrectly to avoid spoilers for the season finale.
