Set in London 1888 during Jack the Ripper's 'Autumn of Terror', a gothic love story of betrayal, power and of man's desire for immortality. When a prince of London falls in love, the gates of hell are swung open and the Devil stalks the streets of Whitechapel, killing and viciously mutilating women. Only an artist Walter Sickert can stop the Ripper, but he must sacrifice all he thought he knew, in order to outsmart the Beast.
