About

A steampunk drama exploring some of the theories and mysteries around the Victorian serial killer known as Jack the Ripper.

Frederick Abberline, a tormented but brilliant and kindly detective, finds himself investigating the brutal murders of prostitutes around Whitechapel in London. As fear builds and the local community starts to unravel, with the murders showing no sign of stopping, Abberline has to face horrors in his own past, as he continues the investiagtion. Through the show, we meet members of the local community, incliding several of the suspects, many of the Rippers victims - and Jack the Ripper himself...
