The Joker was once a little boy named Jack. Since they were in diapers, Eva Hartman was his best and only friend through the hell that they both endured behind closed doors.
When they are suddenly separated, as far as Jack knows, she has abandoned him. What happens on this day is the final blow to Jack's psyche, and soon the Joker is born.
Twelve years later, Eva and the Joker end up in the same place at the same time. Due to the misunderstanding of what really happened that day when they were younger, seeing her face fills him with the rage of being abandoned and left with a void in his heart and a lack of faith in anybody but himself.
Will she be able to explain to him what really happened that day, before he kills her? Will learning the truth change the rage and pain he's been holding onto for over a decade?
What if being with his childhood friend ends up taking him back to a time of innocence and joy?
Will she derail all that he has planned for the city of Gotham?

Meanwhile, Batman and Joker alike face one of their most dangerous enemies who feels nothing but hatred for both of them and has figured out a way to finally get rid of the Caped Crusader as well as the Clown Prince of Crime. Gotham's most evil villains join together in a fight that they seem to win, leaving no chances to Batman and Joker. Or...might a sudden change of heart save Gotham's citizens as well as it's criminals?
