The first issue of the ongoing begins with Dick Grayson cuffed to what looks like a fridge, drowning in a unknown body of water. He tries to escape, but the cuff is too tight and then he flashbacks to why how he got to this in this situation in the first place. He recalls that him and Batman were together investigating a group of twenty-one men that floated upstream into the south harbor of Gotham City. He takes a bus to Bludhaven and runs into a pair of men that are forcing themselves onto a woman. He deals with them and then offers the woman money for a ride back and a job at Waynecorp.
