The year is 1794, and a young nobleman, Eric Three Roses, languishes in a hospital, plagued by guilt over the death of his lost love on their wedding night. Ridden with guilt, he spends his nights writing down memories of her, and when no one listens to his suspicions, he seeks the aid of Jean Mickel Cardell, the one-armed watchman.

Cecil Winge is six months in the ground, but when his younger brother Emil seeks out the watchman to retrieve his brother's missing pocket watch, Cardell enlists his help to discover what really happened at Three Roses' estate that night. But Emil is an enigma, and Cardell soon realizes that he may be more of a hindrance than a help.
