Will Sommers, a young man with a natural aptitude for engineering, works in the engine room of a bustling factory. While he strives to advance his career, he also sets his sights on an ambitious project – turning a neglected swamp into a profitable ice privilege. Will's dedication and ingenuity attract attention, particularly from the factory owner, who sees his potential. However, Will's path is not without challenges. He faces resistance from those who see his success as a threat, and he must navigate the social hierarchy of his town, where the wealthy and powerful often hold sway.
