After one of the characters was killed, his former colleague-hero in mask named Rorschach begins investigation into the circumstances of his death and learns about the existence of a conspiracy aimed at discrediting the superheroes of the past and the present. In the world of the coming global catastrophe: that\'s between them will face world powers, and in the fire of War, millions of people.
