Con la determinación de asegurar que el sacrificio definitivo de Superman no fue en vano, Bruce Wayne une fuerzas con Diana Prince para reclutar a un equipo de metahumanos que protejan el mundo de una amenaza inminente de proporciones catastróficas. La tarea es más difícil de lo que Bruce imaginaba, ya que cada uno de los reclutas deberá enfrentarse a sus propios demonios para trascender aquello que los detenía, para unirse y formar de manera definitiva una liga de héroes sin precedentes. Ahora unidos, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg y Flash deberán salvar al planeta de la amenaza de Steppenwolf, DeSaad y Darkseid, antes de que sea demasiado tarde.
London, 1947. Summoned by the Prime Minister from the Court where he is presiding judge, Cyril Radcliffe is given an unlikely mission. He is to travel to India, a country he has never visited, and, with limited survey information, no expert support and no knowledge of cartography, he is to draw the border which will divide the Indian sub-continent into two new Sovereign Dominions. To make matters even more challenging, he has only six weeks to complete the task. Wholly unsuited to his role, Radcliffe is unprepared for the dangerous whirlpool of political intrigue and passion into which he is plunged – untold consequences may even result from the illicit liaison between the Leader of the Congress Party and the Viceroy’s wife… As he begins to break under the pressure he comes to realise that he holds in his hands the fate of millions of people.
