Blind apprentice gunsmith Peppo, by an absurd accident, becomes the owner of an ancient witchcraft artifact. The already unsweetened life of a teenager is rapidly going downhill, because three people are hunting for the owner of the all-powerful little thing: a paralyzed duchess yearning for a cure, an inquisitor seeking to plant a new faith in the world, and a colonel who has become a victim of a magical artifact and is determined to destroy it. But Peppo is in no hurry to part with his curse. After all, perhaps this is his only chance to regain his long-lost vision.
