Following on from the BAFTA award-winning videogame Life is Strange, Max Caulfield believes that she has finally found a way to cross the timelines and return to the woman she loves, Chloe Price. In doing so, she will have to leave behind the life she has built with a new Chloe, in a world where Rachel Amber never died. But Max is not alone, as friends and allies old and new – including Tristan, the band the High Seas, and fan-favorite ‘queen of the nerds’, Steph Gingrich – rally to help her in her hour of need!

After Max’s collapse she woke up to find herself next to Chloe, in Chloe’s old bedroom. Max is still having strange visions of people and places where the storm never hit – are these glimpses into other realities? Is she jumping through time without realising it? When they visit the remains of Blackwell Academy, Max bumps into Warren, who is also there for the memorial, but Chloe can’t see him and Max is torn between realities. Warren has realised that Max is slipping between the strings of different realities, she feels she’s becoming unteathered in tie and space and whatever is happening to her is hurting more and more.

Mysteriously gifted with the power to rewind time, photography student Max Caulfield never anticipated that her strange temporal abilities would put her at the center of the dark secrets of Arcadia Bay. In a bid to save her oldest friend, Chloe Price, from being murdered and to find justice for the death of Rachel Amber – Chloe’s closest confidante – Max’s powers caused a hurricane which threatened to destroy Arcadia Bay. Max chose to sacrifice the town rather than lose Chloe again. Afterwards, Max and Chloe moved to Seattle – but a year later, Max’s abilities threatened to tear her apart. To stabilize her powers and her reality, Max jumped to another timeline – where Rachel was still alive. Though two years have passed, Max never forgot where she came from, and now with the help of Tristan – a boy with the power to “phase” out of reality – she pushed her powers to the limit, but was finally able to come home.
