Ray Steam (yes, that's really his name) is a boy who comes from a three-generation family of gifted inventors on the cutting edge of steam engine technology. At his home in rural Manchester, England, in the year 1866, he recieves a mysterious package from his grandfather--the "steamball" a fabulous device capable of packaging fantastic amounts of energy. Along with it comes a warning that it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of "The Foundation"--the agents of which are not far behind. Ray will be exposed to his father's and his grandfather's differing beliefs as to how this nearly unlimited power should be employed, and will be forced to choose sides.
