[1][2] In 1745 Dublin, a weary Jonathan Swift confronts mortality and legacy as he encounters characters from his own writings, blurring the line between reality and fiction in his final days.
The story begins on October 5, 1745, in Dublin, as Dr. Richard Simpson arrives at the home of Jonathan Swift, the dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and a renowned writer.
Inside the house, Dr. Simpson encounters characters from Swift’s books: three Lilliputians in a love triangle, a now-shrunken giant named Glum, and Mr. Nobody, who claims to be over a thousand years old.
Days later, the council, led by the Governor-General of Ireland, grows concerned as strange events continue around Swift's home, including the sighting of a celestial body resembling the island of Laputa.
Breaking his silence, Swift confirms his impending death and refuses to choose between Vanessa and Esther, stating both women hold a place in his heart.
