With him are Addison macHenry, a talking and intelligent dog that can sniff peculiar children, and Emma Bloom, a girl who can create fire from her hands. They all find themselves in London diving through history, literally porthole to porthole, to rescue most of their peculiar companions from a heavily guarded fortress in Devil's Acre.
