A man with wise and tired eyes wanders into town one day seemingly out of nowhere, peddling valuables to get by. But he possesses uncanny scientific knowledge which he quickly puts to use developing technologies of a marvelous nature. Soon, he builds a corporate empire that propels him to the upper echelons of society--but to what end? His rapid ascent and reclusive tendencies draw the suspicion of others, and questions over who he is and where he comes from grow louder. As he begins to succumb to all-too-common afflictions, his mission, and all the responsibility it entails, is in grave danger of being abandoned.
