About
London, 1857.
Brothers George and Douglas Abernathy are clockmakers who are barely scraping a living in their family's shop. They are also brilliant inventors with a sideline building custom-built androids and other technology ahead of its time. Their 16-year-old sister, Molly, is also a genius specialising in transformative plant biology but earns her keep by sewing.
The Abernathys' fortunes improve dramatically when the brothers invent a clockwork automaton composer named Maestro, whose musical artistry takes London by storm. But there are those who believe Maestro is a fake and others who think him a monstrosity.
As Maestro tries to make sense of the world of London's high society which he is thrown into, he incites the interest of sinister figures who would go to any lengths to discover what makes him tick.
