While attempting to solve the latest in a string of grisly murders, Henry Jekyll is shocked when the clues appear to point to his ex-friend, Police Inspector Utterson. The truth is much worse, however--the murderer is Jekyll's alternate personality, Edward Hyde, brought out by an experimental serum he created. With his secret out, Hyde decides the doctor has no further use to him and plans to stay in control forever, leaving the police to follow his trail of bloodshed as he murders anyone standing in his way. As Utterson enlists the help of Oswald Carew, the police chief, Hyde's body count and general villainy escalates every day. The driving question is whether Jekyll is still alive deep inside Hyde--and if so, what can possibly save him?

Made a more accurate summary. I hope.


London, 1891: While the police are tangled in the recent line of murders, it may be up to Doctor Henry Jekyll and his mysterious companion to close the case. But when the clues start to point towards old friends, will the good doctor be able to get out alive?
