El diabólico doctor Hoffman se ha propuesto librar una guerra sin cuartel contra las estructuras de la razón, y liberar así definitivamente a los seres humanos de las cadenas del principio de realidad.

Sólo Desiderio, que vive en la ciudad desde los comienzos de la guerra, puede detener al doctor Hoffman.
