New England, 1840

One fateful day, lonely watchmaker Matthew Goddard discovers the lover of his dreams in a dusty corner of the local general store—Isabel, a bisque porcelain mannequin head with mesmerizing, smoky blue eyes. When Matthew invites her to come live with him, she eagerly "accepts."

The couple embarks on a passionate affair, one fueled by Matthew's wild imagination. To provide Isabel with a brass body and pretty clothes, he begins a secret side business selling clockwork pleasure toys to his wealthy female customers.

But danger threatens their idyllic romance when a disgruntled customer exposes Matthew's forbidden business to the townspeople. Despite the growing menace, Matthew will stop at nothing in order to save his soul mate—and protect their love.
