A teenage boy lives deep in the forest, far away from his family and cursed to kill anything he touches. His maid, Alice, is constantly teasing him and getting far too close for comfort…

As the Duke recovers from a fall and a hit on the head while out ice skating with Alice, he encounters a talking white crow. He thinks he may be imagining things, but then he learns that the crow happens to be searching for a lost witch named Cuff...

On a snowstormy night, Alice is reminded of when she first began working as the Duke's maid. Despondent and holed up in his dark, messy room, the Duke can't even remember who Alice is and is ready to dismiss her. How will she get him to open his heart?
