In a London darkened by the fumes of machines and the ambitions of the powerful, humanity teeters between progress and decadence. Henri, a young artist who has lost his way, observes this world where steel and coal have supplanted nature and the soul. While automatons roam the streets, a mysterious being, half-man, half-machine, threatens the established order by attacking the very foundations of this society of gears and cogs.
