His legitimacy as heir and the conditions of his return face suspicion from those who believe the Trancy estate conceals dark secrets. Central to these doubts is Claude Faustus, Alois's mysterious black-clad butler. As deception spreads throughout the mansion, the true nature of the bond between Claude and Alois emerges, and their alliance is tested to its limits when demonic forces endanger their world.
