For Phoebe Plumm, life in affluent Meridian revolves around playing tricks against her irritating servant Micah Tanner whilst she anxiously waits for her world-renowned father, Dr. Jules Plumm, to return home. Dr. Jules is the chief engineer for The Foundry, a global corporation with an absolute monopoly on metal production and technology and so is often absent for months at a time, much to his daughter's chagrin. But when a sudden and unexpected reunion leads to father and daughter being abducted, Micah sets out to rescue the pair.
