The game takes place in the airborne city of Columbia, in 1912, where the player assumes the role of Booker DeWitt, a disgraced Pinkerton agent.[6] Booker has been given the job of finding a woman named Elizabeth, who has been confined by a flying beast called Songbird and the city's "Founder" leader Zachary Hale Comstock.

Following in the footsteps of previous BioShock games, the world of Infinite explores the chaos that results when strong ideals are taken to an extreme. Here, the philosophical concept of "American Exceptionalism" is perverted into ultra-nationalism, religious fanaticism, and social Darwinism. Flags, patriotic music, and propaganda posters promote the idea that Columbia is a 'haven' from the so-called 'unwanted' of the world.

In 1912, Booker DeWitt is taken by the mysterious Lutece twins to an island lighthouse off the coast of Maine. With instructions from the Luteces to "bring us the girl and wipe away the debt," DeWitt enters the structure which houses a rocket silo that transports Booker to the flying city of Columbia.

Booker's presence in Columbia goes unnoticed until a policeman identifies the letters "AD" branded on Booker's hand. This is a sign of the 'False Shepherd' which city leader and prophet, Zachary Comstock, prophesied would 'lead the lamb (Elizabeth) astray' and bring about Columbia's downfall. Booker, now a wanted man, fights his way to Monument Island where Elizabeth is held within a tower. Along the way, he discovers a large device called the Siphon and the ability Elizabeth wields which can open Tears, rips in the space-time continuum that lead to other parallel worlds. After freeing Elizabeth, her warden, the Songbird -- a thirty-foot tall bird creature -- attacks and destroys the tower she was held in, and Booker and Elizabeth narrowly escape with their lives. The pair work towards the First Lady's Aerodrome, planning to take an airship to Paris, a city Elizabeth has always wanted to see. When Booker directs the ship to New York City with the intention of delivering Elizabeth to the Luteces, she knocks him out and flees. He awakes to find the airship under the control of Daisy Fitzroy, leader of the Vox Populi. The 'Vox' are a rebel organization made up primarily of those of the working class, foreigners, and people of color, all of whom suffer in some way at the hands of Columbia's government and society. Fitzroy offers to return the airship if Booker recovers a shipment of weapons from the slums of Columbia.

Booker rejoins Elizabeth and they venture deeper into the city. While Elizabeth uses her ability to manipulate Tears to aid in their journey, she grows disturbed by the physiological and psychological consequences of manipulating reality on Booker and the other citizens of Columbia. One Tear leads them to a world where Booker has died and become a martyr for the Vox Populi, and the Vox are in the process of a violent revolt. That universe's Fitzroy believes that this Booker undermines her Booker's sacrifice, threatening to weaken the Vox Populi cause, and so turns her forces against him. Elizabeth kills Fitzroy to prevent her from executing a Founder boy. Later, as Booker starts up the airship, Elizabeth comes out with a changed appearance (blue dress, shorter hair, etc.). As they prepare to leave Columbia by airship, Songbird attacks and they crash back to Columbia.
