Ambitious DI Joseph Chandler is assigned an open-and-shut case, the killing of a woman in the East End of London. If he resolves this case quickly, he will be awarded with a long-deserved promotion, but, unfortunately, things don’t turn out to be so straightforward.
The investigation quickly runs out of suspects until Edward Buchan, a renowned Ripperologist, draws the police’s attention to the similarities between the Jack the Ripper killings of 1888 and the modern-day murder that Chandler is investigating. The race begins to catch the copycat killer before he strikes again.
