In a tragic accident, mechanical engineer Poul Nielsen and his best friend, civil engineer Jonathan Axelsen, are killed when a truck crashes into the coffee shop where they were hanging out. Suddenly, they find themselves transmigrated to a parallel world in the late 19th-century country of Avalonia. In this world, they'll need to work tirelessly to earn enough pennies to survive. But they won't settle for just getting by - they want to become the Edison, the Chrysler, the Rockefeller, the Carnegie, the Ford, and the Westinghouse of this new world. In a world without electricity, Poul and Jonathan decide to start an electric power distribution company. But that's not enough - they also want to build appliances and motors to make their business profitable. They see the opportunity to revolutionize ground transportation, and they start an automotive manufacturing company. They tackle huge infrastructure projects such as metro stations, skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, and dams by starting their own civil engineering firm. They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape. Join Poul and Jonathan on their journey to become the wealthiest men in the world in a parallel universe where anything is possible.

Russell and Morgan

Two months later, in Pearl Street Station New York. James Russell was reading the newspaper which caused him to crumple its sides.

"Axelsen and Nielsen provide power to all of Washington with their alternating current power…Are the people in this country so dumb that I have reiterated many times that alternating current is dangerous!" 

Russell couldn't bear the frustration building up inside him, so he got up from his chair and paced around the room. He had been warning people about the dangers of alternating current for years, but it seemed like no one was listening. Now, with Axelsen and Nielsen's success, he was afraid that his warnings would fall on even deafer ears.

As he walked, he heard the sound of footsteps outside his door. He turned to face it and saw his assistant, Sam, enter the room. "Good morning, Mr. Russell," Sam said, his tone respectful.
