His occupation as a researcher for lawyer and magic enthusiast Horace Crisp provides him with the opportunity to pursue and neutralize these rogue witches and warlocks, stripping them of their supernatural abilities. However, Aloysius must conceal his own magical heritage and powers, ensuring that they remain hidden from the prying eyes of others.

Unbeknownst to Aloysius, his journey will be accompanied by Alice Crisp, Horace's tenacious daughter. Her presence on missions and her trust in Aloysius with his secret add an unexpected dimension to his endeavors.

He must confront the consequences of his actions and make difficult choices that will shape the course of his destiny. Alice, with her unwavering loyalty and insight, becomes a crucial ally in his quest.
