After losing a competition to become LaPlace's ceremonial pianist of the year, Noel Cerquetti is informed by the assistant of Mayor Russell Burrows that she was cheated out of victory by the head of Stella Stage—a major sponsor for the competition. Soon, she finds herself tricked into killing the Stella Stage director via a contract with the Devil Caron, resulting in the loss of her limbs. Caron, unhappy with the trick the mayor has pulled, offers Noel a second contract: the return of her limbs should she successfully get her revenge.
