{{Synopsis|[[Barry Allen (Earth-1)|Barry Allen]] lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the [[Central City Police Department (Earth-Prime)|Central City Police Department]]. But his life changed forever when the [[S.T.A.R. Labs (Earth-Prime)|S.T.A.R. Labs]] [[S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator (Earth-Prime)|Particle Accelerator]] exploded, creating a [[dark matter|dark-matter]] lightning storm that struck Barry... bestowing him with superspeed and making him the fastest man alive — The Flash. After stopping the [[August Heart|Godspeed]] War last [[Season 7 (The Flash)|season]], it's six months later and Barry and [[Iris West-Allen]] are now at the top of their game—both in their careers as superhero and reporter and as a devoted couple. But when the powerful alien [[Despero]] unleashes near annihilation on [[Central City (Earth-Prime)|Central City]], The Flash and his team—[[Caitlin Snow]]/[[Frost]], [[Meta-humans|Meta]]-Empath [[Cecile Horton]], the light-powered meta [[Allegra Garcia]], brilliant tech-nerd [[Chester P. Runk]] and retired detective [[Joe West]]—must once again defy impossible odds to save the day. But their victory is short-lived as two new threats rise from the ashes of "[[Armageddon (event)|Armageddon]]," one of which will unleash unforeseen horrors into the lives of Barry and his teammates... and change [[Team Flash (Earth-Prime)|Team Flash]] forever.|https://cwtvpr.com/the-cw/shows/the-flash/about|show=F}}
