Synopsis
"Running up against an evil time remnant version of yourself is something no one should ever have to do, but that’s exactly what faced Barry Allen (aka The Flash) as he fought to save the life of fiancée Iris West from the God of Speed known as Savitar."

"Barry’s victory was short-lived, however, as an unbalanced Speed Force began to wreak havoc on Central City, forcing Barry to sacrifice himself for the greater good."

"With The Fastest Man Alive now trapped inside an extra-dimensional energy, and unknown dangers lurking in the shadows, it will be up to Team Flash to free Barry from his own personal Hell."

Confirmed new characters

 * Neil Borman/Fallout: A blue collar, likable, good guy just trying to make ends meet, but unbeknownst to him, he has radiation emitting meta-human powers that could cause the whole city to suffer a nuclear, catastrophic explosion. Neil is unaware that he is hurting people.
 * Veronica Dale/Hyrax: An Environmental Activist (back when she was still sane) turned Animal Liberator turned Domestic Terrorist, who’s the leader of the Eden Corps — a cult-like organization that proposes to turn back the clock to a pre-industrial age — and if millions of innocent people have to die in the process, well, that’s just tough.
