Following two brutal years of incarceration in Bedlam's asylum for the insane, Jack Thorne has escaped the confinement and torture of his cell and has fled to Victorian era Gotham City.
Upon his arrival, a mysterious 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 the now cold case. The very infamous one stemming from the Whitechapel butcherings of 1888.
He soon teams up with a beautiful American journalist who is working abroad and, upon the news of the new series of murders in Gotham, they catch the Ripper's trail.
Ultimately, in the face of his demons, Jack must race against time to prove his innocence...or find his hidden truths are more sinister than they seem.
