The first episode, The Fox’s Trail, introduces Sofya Rykov, a private investigator in Vodotsk, a city near the border between Humans and Leshin. While Sofya’s job is uncovering secrets, she hides a secret of her own: powerful and unstable magic she acquired after being injured in the war.

The Fox’s Trail begins as Sofya discovers how to turn into a cat. Like every spell that comes to her, this ability is unstable but useful for a detective who needs every advantage she can get.
