On Earth-90, the Flash escapes as a mysterious figure wo used a powerful book to test that Earth. On Earth-1, the same figure gives the book to Arkham Asylum psychiatrist John Deegan, who ussd it to rewrite reality according to his will. The following day, Oliver Queen and Barry Allen woke up in each other's lives; Oliver is the Flash and Barry is the Green Arrow. Oliver and Barry use each other's abilities to travel to Earth-38 to get help from Kara Danvers and meets her cousin Clark Kent and his girlfriend Lois Lane. Meanwhile, an android called A.M.A.Z.O. awakens and threatens Central City. Cisco Ramon retrieves Oliver and Barry from Earth-38, with Kara and Clark tagging along. After defeating A.M.A.Z.O., Cisco vibes the mysterious figure and Deegan. The figure tells the group that something is coming and they will not be able to stop it. While Clark returns to protect Earth-38, Oliver realizes that the figure and Deegan were located in Gotham City.

In Gotham, Barry, Oliver, and Kara are arrested by the GCPD after getting into a fight. They are bailed out by Wayne Enterprises' CEO Kate Kane, who tells them Deegan works at Arkham Asylum. The trio, with the assistance of Caitlin and Diggle, sneak into Arkham to confront Deegan. They retrieve the "Book of Destiny" but Deegan escapes and causes a mass breakout. During the riot, Barry and Oliver are exposed to fear gas and believe each other to be Eobard Thawne and Malcolm Merlyn, respectively. After stopping the breakout, Kate, as the vigilante Batwoman, rescues them from their hallucinatory state and tells them to leave Gotham. They head to A.R.G.U.S. to restore reality, where Earth-90's Flash warns them about the Monitor. Barry, Oliver, Kara, and Earth-90's Flash confront the Monitor, who said he is rewriting reality to test out worlds to stop an upcoming crisis. The Monitor steals the book, escapes, and returns it to Deegan. He writes a new reality in which Barry and Oliver are criminals known as the Trigger Twins, and have no powers. They are confronted by a black-suited Superman.

Oliver realizes the Superman impostor is actually Deegan and they forced him to save innocents while they escape in order to find Cisco. Deegan and his forces, including Killer Frost and Kara's adoptive sister Alex Danvers, are holding Kara at S.T.A.R. Labs. Oliver and Barry locate Cisco and persuade him to take them to Earth-38. They find Clark, who agrees to return with them to Earth-1 while Kara persuaded Alex to release her. Arriving on Earth-1, Clark and Oliver fight Deegan and his forces so Alex, Barry, and Kara could find the Book of Destiny. They locate it in the Time Vault and take it to Clark, who restores Barry, Oliver, and Kara to their real selves, but learns that Barry and Kara are destined to die in the upcoming crisis. Deegan retrieves the book and attempted to rewrite reality again. To impede his progress, Barry and Kara slow time down by speeding around the Earth in opposite directions. Oliver confronts the Monitor, asking him to spare Barry and Kara, but the Monitor demands something from Oliver in exchange. Clark, joined by Lois, Brainiac-5, and J'onn J'onzz, fight Deegan and a revived A.M.A.Z.O. Barry and Kara are nearly torn apart by their speed but Oliver shoots the Book of Destiny with an arrow enhanced by the Monitor. Deegan reverts to himself, though heavily disfigured, and reality is restored. After returning to Earth-38, Clark and Lois tell Kara they are expecting a child and plan to travel to Argo City, leaving Earth's protection to her. On Earth-1, Oliver is contacted by Kate, who said Deegan, now incarcerated at Arkham, has made a new friend; who the;;s Deegan that "Worlds will live, worlds will die, and the universe will never be the same".
