In 1781 England, William Burton, a young nobleman, faces an encounter that will transform his life. Determined, he embarks on an adventure where he will meet the geniuses of the time, absorbing knowledge and experiences to face extreme situations. Friendship, love, and determination will be his allies in a bizarre and cruel world, where he will test his character and must decide whether to become who he wants to be or regret his lack of courage. 'Extrañas' explores the rise of science in the 18th century and its conflict with religion and aristocracy, reflecting on the human condition and showing empathy towards the different and the anomalous.
