The story takes place after the end of the world. A form of unknown life, the chimera, have invaded and destroyed everything except a city with no name, a disparate labyrinth where survivors attempt to reassemble. They manage to do so with the help of an army of automats that have sprung from nowhere who protect them and help them to reconstruct their lives.
From time to time a man, a woman, a child or a group appear on the steppe, which now stretches as far as the eye can see. The automatic municipality takes them in. Many are sick or mad. In spite of everything, life goes on.
The story is also about the rebirth of hope. Doctor Sophie Strauss, working at the town central hospital is attacked by two chimeras that have succeeded in infiltrating the population. She owes her life to the intervention of a man who many survivors have heard of but have never seen: Thomas Lestrange, the only non-automatic being able to bear direct contact with the Chimera. Sophie discovers that the town and Lestrange are working together on a plan which will be able to give humans their place back on earth. But isn't the being hiding behind the man in blue glasses and giving him his powers worse than the monsters she wants to be rid of? This is a story about doubt and how to overcome it.
