A dark, visceral reimagining of Jekyll and Hyde set in Victorian London, where a physician's chemical experiment unleashes a murderous alter ego driven by lust and violence.

When his experiments into a powerful new anesthetic go hideously awry, respected physician Dr. Jekyll transforms into the hideous Jack Hyde. As his wife Elisabeth passes her time in charitable work, rehabilitating the district's fallen women, Hyde is drawn into an escalating cycle of lust and murder that seems to know no bounds.
