Inez Olivera patří ke smetánce argentinské společnosti devatenáctého století a má všechno, co si jen dívka může přát. Když dostane zprávu o tragické smrti rodičů v Egyptě, něco se jí na tom nezdá, a proto se vydá do Káhiry hledat odpovědi. Hned po příjezdu ji magie vycházející z prstenu od otce dovede ke zjištění, že se zmizením rodičů to není tak jednoduché, jak jí tvrdil strýc. Jeho nesnesitelně pohledný pomocník jí neustále hází klacky pod nohy, a aby se dozvěděla pravdu o rodičích, musí se Inez buď spolehnout na prastarou magii, nebo riskovat, že se stane loutkou v mnohem větší hře a možná zaplatí životem.
