The
story revolves around an exclusive apartment tower called The Man, so called
because it has been constructed in the shape of a man (legs, torso, neck,
head). In the prologue we are introduced to its designer, the eccentric
architect Harry Wall. He has become obsessed with his latest creation and dies
of a drug overdose while hallucinating. At the time of his death he is gazing
at The Man, thinking that he can see the building walking.
In the main body of
the story we meet Ridley Case, another architect who hears of Wall’s death on
the radio. He goes to Wall’s funeral and notices Wall’s wife, the beautiful
Ramona Lansky mourning at his graveside. Ramona calls Ridley at his office and
asks to meet with him. When they meet, Ramona gives him the key of Wall’s house
on Pacific Palisades. She wants to know what Wall was at in this house before
he died. Ridley goes to the house and finds documentation and strange drawings
relating to the design of The Man.
He
learns that the iron used in the steel frame of The Man has come from a mine
called Gavour in Eastern Quebec. Iron mined from this deposit has been known to
inexplicably “move”, always in the direction of its native Gavour. Ridley gets
in touch with Ray Deslak, the owner of a website that collects tales of such
rogue iron. It turns out that iron from Gavour, in order to move, must draw
energy from people. Deslak shows up at Ridley’s office and the two of them move
into an empty apartment in The Man in the knowledge that Wall’s fantasy was to
use the building’s residents as an energy source for the iron in The Man’s
steel frame, thus giving the structure the power to walk.
They discover that it
is only a matter of time before the tower begins to move, and Ridley finds out
that there is more to Deslak than meets the eye. And so begins Ridley’s frantic
quest to save the residents of the complex and prevent Armageddon from being
unleashed in the City Of Angels…
