Sixteenth century. A series of tragic incidents sweep across Italy: in the midst of a family celebration, a noble occultist commits suicide, an entire family is burned along with their own home, and all the inhabitants in the castle of a provincial aristocrat are brutally exterminated. According to rumors, a mysterious warlock, the owner of an ancient magical artifact capable of controlling the human soul and mind, is involved in all these misfortunes. Is he a psychopath or a vigilante? What is the reason for these atrocities and what is their purpose? The only one who is able to unravel the tangle of misfortunes is the blind pickpocket Giuseppe, a seventeen-year-old boy who turned blindness into a real art and his main weapon.
