Set in the 1500s, the narrative follows Abraham Ortelius, a pioneering mapmaker from Antwerp known for creating the first atlas. His life is intertwined with a vibrant network of humanists, geographers, and artists across Europe, reflecting the rich cultural exchanges of the time. Amidst the political turmoil and religious strife in the Netherlands, he navigates danger and displacement, often fleeing the Inquisition's threats. While grounded in historical events, the story offers a fictionalized glimpse into Ortelius's passions and the era's challenges.
