Twelve year old Hugo is an orphan who lives with his uncle in a Paris train station where they maintain all the clocks. When his uncle dies, Hugo is left alone to maintain the clocks by himself—but he’s also working secretly on an automaton that his late father thought contained a secret message. Hugo befriends Isabelle, the daughter of a grumpy old toyshop owner in the train station. Together, they try to figure out the mystery of the automaton.
