Telling the story of Doctor Henry Jekyll who is a good man, successful within his field and respected by his peers. He’s close to a neurological discovery that will change the face of medical science forever. However, his methods are less than ethical, and when a close friend and colleague threatens to expose and destroy his work, Jeykll is forced to experience on himself, whereupon something goes very wrong… or very right. And suddenly Jekyll has a new friend – the brutal Edward Hyde.
