Questa serie vi trasporta in un mondo di automi a vapore, cospirazioni anarchiche e intrighi politici, dove animali antropomorfi popolano le strade di Parigi. Seguite gli investigatori di Scotland Yard mentre svelano misteriosi omicidi, dove ogni svolta nei labirintici vicoli della città può portare al pericolo. È un thriller visivamente sbalorditivo che fonde fantascienza e romanticismo, rendendo omaggio alla classica illustrazione francese.
