Trudi was born in the 1920s and raised by her grandparents. She called her grandfather Opa, and in his clock shop, their customers could feel magic in the air and see it in his ornate clocks and other mechanical marvels. At an early age, Trudi became Opa's apprentice and soon mastered his trade. Even after fifteen years at his side, Opa had yet to reveal the secrets of his clocks. A few weeks before Christmas, Trudi finds herself alone and faced with debt collectors, anxious customers, and strange noises in the night.
