In sixteenth-century Toledo, the Lombard mathematician Juanelo Turriano, former clockmaker to Charles V, is determined to build, at his own expense, a device to raise water from the Tagus to the Alcázar. Twenty-five years later, the architect Juan de Herrera arrives with another mission: to find out what became of the Man of Wood, an automaton soldier coveted by all.
