Everything has fallen apart.

Jinx has lost not one, but two father figures. She doesn't know who she is anymore. The only things keeping her alive are Isha and, admittedly, Sevika.

Vi is heartbroken and torn between two worlds. She has thrown her life away to drinking and pit fighting, but she can't stop thinking about her sister or Caitlyn.

Caitlyn has been promoted to commander for Ambessa. She is caught in her vengeful hatred for Jinx, and she will do anything to find her.

But things get interrupted for everyone when it is discovered that Jayce, Heimerdinger, and Ekko are missing. No one was keeping track of Heimerdinger, but it isn't like Jayce to just disappear.

Caitlyn, knowing that Vi knows and loves Ekko, packs away her spite and goes to find Vi. Vi agrees to help find them, on one condition: they tell Jinx and ask her to help, too. Jinx also knows and loves Ekko. Jinx is reluctant to help, but eventually she agrees.

But getting to the bottom of their disappearances doesn't just reveal the dangers of the Arcane...
