In an alternate universe where Booker DeWitt never saves Elizabeth, the young woman grows up entrenched in her father's twisted ideals, ruled by the dogma of Zachary Hale Comstock. As the day approaches for Columbia's attack on the surface, Elizabeth's powers become a double-edged sword, and a mistake with her tear abilities causes Columbia to collide with the world of the 1980s. Trapped between the fractured realities of a floating city and an unfamiliar New York skyline, Elizabeth must confront the legacy of her father's teachings, the chaos her powers have wrought, and the growing tension with Booker. With Columbia in ruins and time unraveling, Elizabeth is forced to chart her own path and decide who she will become, free from the shackles of her past. But as the city crumbles around her, she realizes that the hardest choice may not be saving the world-but herself.
