At Lady Virginie-Anne’s café, people come not only for a cup of coffee, but also for answers to riddles. Here works Ellis Normann, an unusual detective who is always ready to help in the search for solutions. One day, an artist asks Virginie to investigate the death of his friend, which the police consider a suicide. The detective agrees to help, but sets a condition: he wants his gypsy acquaintance to join the investigation. The problem is that this acquaintance is a sorcerer who is also interested in the countess.
