Ernst, the "Clockwork Man," is the masterpiece of world-renowned clockmaker Karl Gruber, hailed as a marvel of 19th-century automation, and admired by luminaries from around the world. At home he is servant, caretaker, and friend to Gruber and his family, especially Gruber's daughter Giselle, whose relationship with Ernst begins to grow in intimacy. When tragedy strikes the family, however, Ernst can no longer bear the loss and winds down in a curious suicide. But fate has other plans; Ernst awakens over a century later as a window display in a men's clothing store. Aided by a well-meaning (if slightly unstable) homeless man named Greeley, Ernst sets out to discover what brought him to this strange new world, and to face the century-old tragedy that still haunts him.
