In the future, the Atlantean city of Crownspire rises above the sea, a towering testament to a civilization that has long since parted from the surface world. When an uprising erupts—fueled by rebels and surface dwellers—heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, and Hal Jordan reunite with King Arthur, Queen Mera, and their son Tom to defend their home. But as the conflict unfolds, a shocking truth emerges: the world they know may be a dream, and the only one who sees it is Murk, the man believed dead, who now believes the only way to free Aquaman is to destroy the child at the heart of the illusion.
