The year is 2028 and in just two short years life has completely changed for 21-year-old Cole Bennett. His father, a renowned inventor and CEO of Bennett Industries, disappeared without a trace and is presumed dead. Between working two unfulfilling jobs, grueling aviation classes at Brume University, and trying to avoid getting evicted by his bullying landlord (who also happens to be his aunt), Cole yearns for a more stable life. One day at work he finds a glowing pocket watch at the bottom of a trash can which leads him to a startling discovery - a message from his father! As his investigation deepens, however, his boyfriend Gabe, along with several other men, go missing and Mechanica City is sent into a state of panic. Could the disappearances all be connected? Gabe was last seen at his workplace, the ominous new nightclub called Steamworks. With the help of his android maid, his flamboyant best friend, and his estranged older sister, Cole devises a plan to infiltrate the club and rescue him. What they discover will take them on an exhilarating journey through time aboard a mysterious train called the Astrolabe. Will Cole be able to save his boyfriend and father or will he lose everything in the process?
