Absolute Harley Quinn's origin ties back to Ark M and the system that turned Gotham's most vulnerable into weapons. As the Robins tighten their grip on the city's streets and Batman finds himself outmatched, a new player enters the fight with her own history in the facility. The connections between Ark M's experiments and the people now hunting Bruce begin to surface.
