In the first episode, The Infamy, the American Revolution is over but the real battle is just beginning: George Washington, consumed by a thirst for unlimited power, has crowned himself king. Connor awakens in this altered reality as Ratonhnhaké:ton, having never joined the Assassin order, and takes up a new mission to bring Washington down, acquiring all-new skills to fend off this fresh threat to freedom and ignite a new revolution.
The second episode, The Betrayal, finds Washington ruling as a mad and tyrannical king. Still never having become an Assassin, Ratonhnhaké:ton travels to Boston, where he finds an unlikely but familiar ally in his war against the King. His journey concludes in the third and final episode, The Redemption: arriving in New York, he calls upon every ability tied to his native heritage to breach the monarch's fortress and put an end to the tyranny of King Washington — living history as it never happened.
