"He's due at midnight. He's usually punctual".
In 1886 a respectable Edinburgh physician went to his grave with a terrible secret. Now, over a hundred years later, his curse is reborn. There’s a new Dr. Jekyll – with an old problem. In the 21st Century, Victorian Morality is back. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This time it’s peace. This time they have a deal. For Tom Jekyll, there was never any potion, and never any choice. He was born to become Hyde, it’s in his genes – but this Dr. Jekyll is not taking it lying down. With all the resources of modern technology, and the best surveillance hardware, he’s determined to keep his dark side in line. He’s done a deal with his own devil. What Hyde doesn’t know: Jekyll is married. There’s a wife and two children he’ll do anything to protect from his own dark side. All he really wants, is to return home.
