The hands of Jack the Ripper live again...

A series of murders occur that mirror those committed by the Whitechapel Ripper. Through his experiments with psychoanalysis Dr Pritchard discovers a deadly violence in one of his young female patients.

But the most chilling revelation of all is the identity of her father: Jack the Ripper himself.
