Sandor Esterhazy is descended from a long line of talented pianists, but he has no desire to play. One snowy afternoon, he promises his soul to the devil in exchange for a life of his own choosing. Afterward, he laughs it off as a joke, but that night, the devil arrives dragging someone - or something - with him. Uncertain what to do with the bewildered creature, Sandor locks it in the basement, allowing it out only once a night to visit the piano room - the creature, whom he names Ferdi, is desperate to play.

Sandor slips easily into his new role of captor, but as Ferdi learns what it is to be human, tensions between the two escalate, and Ferdi escapes into the world. Sandor is determined to find him and bring him back, but Ferdi has other plans. He wants to experience the world for himself and make his own choices.

As Sandor searches for Ferdi, he discovers that the devil has his own plans for the two of them. He wants to use Ferdi's talent to create a new kind of music that will bring him power and fame. Sandor is caught in the middle, trying to protect Ferdi from the devil's grasp while also trying to fulfill his own destiny.

In the end, Sandor must make a difficult choice. He can either give in to the devil's demands and become a powerful musician, or he can resist and protect Ferdi from the devil's influence. He chooses the latter, and together, they escape the devil's grasp and find their own way in the world.
