Two centuries, two tragedies, one fear: Plague.
Lucille Metcalf devotes her life to historical research. Her husband Richard works at the cutting edge of cybernetics, and has constructed a life-like robot in the basement - Albertine. Lucille's desire to have a child is frustrated by the amount of time Richard spends with his machine, while the seventeenth century world of poverty and disease and the decadent court of King Charles grow ever more real to her. The two worlds collide as plague finds its modern companion in AIDS, and Lucille and Richard find their whole world thrown into doubt.
