Zora, a 12-year-old witch, lives with her grandmother Babushka on the roof of a building in Pairs. Victims of the Carpathian witch hunt, they’ve found refuge in a strange home that can't be seen by non-witches. Babushka just wants Zora to lead a normal life, while Zora yearns for the danger and adventure of life as a witch. Her grandmother uses her powers to send Zora to school where the young girl will make friends, discover independence, endure teasing from her classmates, and have her first crush. But these new experiences come at a high price: magic. Zora’s desire to use her powers at school will put the whole witch community at risk.
