Synopsis
Respected Victorian physician Dr. Henry Jekyll, in his quest to discover new anesthetics, unwittingly creates a powerful drug that has disastrous consequences. Under its influence, he transforms into the monstrous Jack Hyde, who engages in an escalating cycle of lust and murder, targeting prostitutes in the impoverished district where Jekyll's wife, Elisabeth, works in charitable rehabilitation efforts. As Hyde's crimes mimic those of the notorious 'Jack the Ripper,' Jekyll struggles to maintain his sanity while trying to conceal his true identity.
