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 the now cold case...the very infamous one stemming from the "canonical five" butcherings in Whitechapel in the late year of 1888. Soon the detective teams up with a beautiful American journalist who is working abroad, and upon learning of the new string of murders in Gotham, they set out to catch the taunting Ripper's trail.
Ultimately, in the face of his many demons, Jack must race against time to prove his innocence...or find his hidden truths more sinister than they seem.
