|summary=Four students and MIT race against time to uncover the identity of the evil scientist threatening the city.
}}
The year is 1868 and Boston is under threat from an evil genius who seems to have the uncanny ability to manipulate matter itself. The city has already experienced two attacks; the chaos in the harbour when the navigation instruments went awry and the eerie spectacle in the commercial quarter when every item of glass, including widowswindows, eyeglasses, clocks and watches spontaneously melted. But are these attacks a prelude to something greater?
Luckily, for Boston, the newly formed Massachusetts Institute of Technology is about to honour its first graduating class. The institute boasts some of brightest young minds in the industrialised world and upon hearing the news of the attacks, a small group of students, calling themselves ‘The Technologists’ are keen to investigate events and unmask the perpetrator.
