The Flash

Barry Allen (Jack Quaid) is a brilliant but socially awkward forensic scientist working for the Central City Police Department. Haunted by the childhood murder of his mother and the wrongful imprisonment of his father, Barry has spent his life searching for answers. When a freak lightning strike sends him crashing into chemicals in his laboratory, Barry awakens with extraordinary superhuman speed. With support from his childhood friend Iris West (Olivia Cooke) and fellow forensic scientist Patty Spivot (Haley Lu Richardson), Barry begins using his abilities to protect Central City, becoming the mysterious superhero known as The Flash. However, his arrival attracts the attention of Leonard Snart (James Norton), a calculating criminal mastermind known as Captain Cold. Alongside Heat Wave, Golden Glider, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard and Captain Boomerang, Snart assembles a dangerous alliance known as the Rogues. As the Rogues embark on a series of increasingly ambitious robberies, their ultimate target becomes a powerful experimental reactor at Mercury Labs. But when their plan spirals out of control, the reactor threatens to unleash a catastrophe capable of destroying Central City. Facing six formidable enemies and a disaster beyond anything he has encountered, Barry must push his newfound powers to their limits to save thousands of innocent lives. Meanwhile, a mysterious discovery connected to his mother’s murder suggests that Barry’s past holds secrets far greater than he ever imagined. One hero. Six Rogues. Zero time to lose.
