A teenage boy lives deep in the forest far away from his family and cursed to kill anything he touches; his maid, Alice, is constantly teasing him and getting far too close for comfort.
Having recovered from a back injury, the Duke's elderly butler Rob resumes his post, but while his work is flawless, some of his five senses aren't quite up to snuff; meanwhile, a couple of unexpected guests pay a visit to the Duke's mansion.
After losing a bet to Alice, the Duke agrees to take her to the town's masquerade festival, but the two get separated when the Duke, clad in a clunky, steel costume to protect others from his touch of death, gets carried away by the crowd.
When Alice loses one of her mother's earrings in the snow, the Duke goes out into the cold, dark night to look for it; meanwhile, a lost witch finds the Duke lying unconscious in the snow and decides to help him.
As the Duke recovers from a fall and a hit on the head while out ice skating with Alice, he encounters a talking white crow; he thinks he may be imagining things, but then he learns that the crow happens to be searching for a lost witch named Cuff.
The night of the blood moon has arrived, and Cuff and Zain show up at the Duke's mansion to take him to the witches' sabbath.
