This is the story of Catherine, a 14 year-old girl, trapped in the surreal and distorted world of the carnival where she has grown up as a puppet. She is the sole, female lead of an act led by sinister magician, Rambouillette, who is accompanied by Marigold, a dark and ominous clown who masks his pain, and Ambrose, a mute dwarf with a visceral love for her.
