The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Sounds like you want a "Shaggy Dog" Story
This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.

There's also All for Nothing, which is about any plot development (good or bad) that completely negates all the plot that came before.
Searching for a trope about something (not too fussed what) with an ending that destroys/neutralises etc. everything that has been created/achieved in itself so far.
