Following two brutal years of torture and confinement in Bedlam's asylum for the insane, Jack Thorne has escaped his captors, 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 one stemming from the infamous murders in Whitechapel in 1888.

He soon teams up with a beautiful American journalist who is working abroad, and, upon news of the new string of murders, they catch the Ripper's trail.

Ultimately, Jack must race against time to prove his innocence...or find out his hidden truths are more sinister than they seem.
