The story centers around Spike Flecker, a struggling painter in Paris, who grapples with despair as he faces artistic failure, a lack of support from family, and feelings of loneliness. As he navigates the murky waters of his life, he encounters a mysterious girl who claims to be a witch, offering him the ability to grant wishes, setting the stage for a tale filled with magic and self-discovery.
