En la Copenhague de plena revolución industrial, una niña corre por las calles nevadas, huyendo de un grupo de adolescentes con obvias malas intenciones. Kay y Gerda, no mucho mayores que la víctima, ven la persecución y cómo—muy al estilo de la época, en que la vida de un pobre apenas contaba para nadie—nadie se molesta en ayudar a la niña. Ellos sí lo harán, enfrentándose al grupo... y acabarán siendo salvados por un misterioso tercer personaje. Así comienza una gran aventura donde se unen la ciencia y la magia. O, quizás, como decía Arthur C. Clarke, ambas sean indistinguibles una de otra. Impresionantes autómatas, la lucha por la creación de vida artificial, investigadores sin escrúpulos, experimentos fallidos con humanos...
