The game begins moments after what is being called "the Blast", with the bike courier Cole MacGrath, in the direct center. With the help of his best friend [[Zeke Dunbar]] and girlfriend [[Trish Dailey]], Cole recovers from his injuries and is suprised to find that he has developed electrical super powers. Two weeks later, he uses uses these newfound powers, alongside his parkour skills, to acquire a food drop crate stuck on top of [[Archer Square]], and share it with the hungry citizens. The Voice of Survival then turns the city against Cole by telling them that Cole was the one who delivered the device that triggered the Blast. This severely hurts his relationship with Trish, as her sister died from the Blast. After trying to get out of the [[Quarantine]] with Zeke, Cole meets a DARPA agent named [[Moya Jones]], who offers to free him from the Quarantine in exchange for the [[Ray Sphere]] Device and the location of her husband, [[John White]]. Moving from district to district, Cole manages to find John, who then sends him to get the Ray Sphere with Zeke. Zeke then betrays Cole, and activates the Ray Sphere to obtain powers of his own. It is also revealed that John is not Moya's husband, and that she only used Cole to track John down. During their hunt for the Ray Sphere, the First Sons' leader [[Kessler]] kidnaps Trish and forces Cole to choose between saving six doctors or his girlfriend. Cole chooses the former, and Trish plummets to her death, surviving a few moments to tell her how proud of Cole she was. After a few more excursions to find the Ray Sphere, John and Cole finally find the Sphere. At John's request, Cole attempts to destroy it, causing the device to collapse on itself and John gets sucked in, seemingly killing him. Set on avenging both John and Trish, Cole confronts Kessler at [[Ground Zero]], and Cole manages to fatally wound Kessler. Through a vision however, Kessler reveals that he is in fact Cole from an alternate timeline, one that was destroyed by a Conduit called [[The Beast (disambiguation)|the Beast]]. Kessler came back in time to ensure that Cole was prepared to stop the Beast and had no attachments, like Trish, to hold him back. In the finale of inFamous, Cole considers what the future holds, still lamenting the loss of Trish and the strain on his friendship with Zeke.

<References />
The whole story takes place some time during InFamous 2 but it is not stated when. The story is set in New Marias about the holiday known as "Festival of Blood"; which celebrates the demise of a vampire named [[Bloody Mary]] over a hundred years ago. It is mainly just a tale made by Zeke in order to impress a [[Cat|girl]] at a bar.
