Florence in the year 1518 is fragmented by scientific and sociological change. Leonardo da Vinci - the greatest engineer of his age - works from behind the walls of his castle, while anti-technologists and Raphaelites call for his excommunication.

Young artist Pasquale di Cione is witness to an attempted assassination attempt. Finding himself accused of a crime he did not commit, he is soon on the run from engineers and artists, and must team up with an alcoholic investigative reporter, Niccolo Machiavegli. By working together, can they solve the murder and prove Pasquale's innocence?
