It's not quite clear if there's an adventure in this, or how extensive it is. Primarily, it seems to be a sourcebook for the planes.

Players get new playable species, class options, subclasses with feats and spells.
But there is mention of an adventure too:
Andrew Girdwood wrote:Monte Cook Games has announced Planesbreaker, a new Kickstarter project with the 5e adventure Path of the Planebreaker.
It can't be very extensive though since the book will be 192 pages, and most of them will probably be taken up with describing the planes. A Pathfinder campaign meanwhile is 600 pages.
Cook worked on dozens of products for the Planescape setting, and was one of the designers of 3E. The man has the pedigree, but he also has his own RPG system and setting: Numenera. So why isn't he working on stuff for that, and making Kickstarters for 5E instead? Numenera is up to two editions by now, and its list of adventures is pathetic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numenera
Not only are they too few, they have tiny page-counts too. The game's entire adventure library amounts to half a Pathfinder campaign, and it's not even a campaign but a random collection of a dozen or more tiny adventures. Utterly pathetic. And instead of working on that, he's making Kickstarters for 5E? He's made nearly two million dollars only on Numenere Kickstarters, and he can't give his customers even a single proper campaign?
I don't expect much from this book. If it's meant to be 5E's Planescape, we're better off using the real Planescape. Maybe the adventure it contains can be adapted to work as a side-adventure in Planescape.
