Who doesn't want to become the chosen one of fate? Who doesn’t dream of invulnerability, success with women, phenomenal luck in the game? Who doesn't want to read other people's thoughts and find the philosopher's stone? But by the irony of fate, all this goes to someone who doesn’t want it, because, unlike many, he knows who will have to pay for it and with what. Vincenzo Giustiniani, a scion of a count's family, is forced to earn his own bread for seven long years due to a feud with his uncle. Could he have imagined that, having returned to his home at the call of a dying man, he would inherit not only the family fortune, but also the disastrous gift of a sorcerer? The imposed gift weighs on him and burns his hands. Will he, a true Christian, be able to turn the devil's power for good?
