Dacey Sinnett is a young cabaret musician living in 19th century France. During the day, he entertains as a sidewalk magician in Montmartre, using his natural telepathic ability to enhance his illusions. Raised in poverty, he dreams of a vibrant life full of riches and fame. Although he's used his powers, talents, and good looks to his advantage, he has barely managed to carve a small niche for himself. His best friend, cabaret dancer, Kalet Belrose also dreams of finer things. However, as they begin to grow closer, she suggests that it's far more practical to accept their lower status in society and find happiness in simplicity. Dacey fears she may be right until he meets Marcus von Rottal, a handsome aristocrat, that promises him a chance at having all of his wildest dreams come true. Dacey is quickly swept up into a world of thievery, murder, debauchery, and vampirism. He eventually learns that you really should be careful what you wish for and seeks to find a greater purpose. But has he ventured past the point of redemption?
