Following two brutal years of torture and confinement in Bedlam's asylum for the insane, Jack Thorne has escaped his cell and has fled to Victorian era Gotham City.

Upon his arrival a new string of Ripper style murders commence...ones Jack himself has no earthly knowledge of.

Back in his homeland, a rookie British cop is put on a now cold case. The very one stemming from the canonical five murders in Whitechapel of 1888- by the now infamous Jack the Ripper himself.

Soon he teams up with a beautiful American journalist who is working abroad, and, learning of the news of the recent Gotham murders, they set out to catch the killer's trail.

Ultimately, in the face of his demons, Jack must race against time to prove his innocence...or find his hidden truths more sinister than they seem.
