During the late 1930s in Chicago, the transcontinental train, Flying Pussyfoot, is starting it`s legendary journey that will leave a trail of blood all over the country. At the same time in New York, the ambitious scientist Szilard and his unwilling aide Ennis, are looking for missing bottles of the immortality elixir. In addition, war between mafia groups are getting worse. On board the Advena Avis, in 1711, scientists are about to learn the price of immortality.

Merging these events together are the kindhearted would-be thieves, Isaac and Miria, connecting various people, all of them with their own hidden ambitions and agendas, and creating lifelong bonds and consequences for everyone involved.
