Nobody can possibly give you a step-by-step guide just by looking at the image like that except the photographer, and even then they might not be able to. I'd try contacting the photographer and asking.

First he fixed the image by going into either levels or curves and brought the blacks in and the whites in. Then he used a black to white gradient map layer adjustment. Duplicate that layer adjustment. That will create the contrast you want. Then duplicate everything and merge it to one layer. Do a highpass filter on that layer at a radius of at least 4. Then duplicate everything again and merge then do dodge and burn on the eyes and other parts of the skin to bump everything up..
That should achieve the same effect.

he lists out the steps, all in lightroom...so for PS you'd use the same tools in ACR

"Anyway, that was a bit of a tangent….back to the edit. It’s a simple high contrast black and white, but I’ve started to do them differently and I really like the result.
Basically, I turn up the exposure and fill light (and sometimes brightness if I need to ), then compensate by turning up the blacks. That gives you nice bright highlights and slightly crushed shadows. To increase the contrast, I set the point curve to “high contrast” then adjust the contrast slider to taste. I find setting a high Clarity level helps bring out some of the detail as well, mine is usually up in the 60’s for this type of edit. Depending on your colors, you might want to mess around with the color channels in grayscale mode to lighten or darken selective areas."
