   Summary

   A failed potion batch leads to the separation of Jekyll and Hyde, but Hyde was never meant to be his own person, living and thinking independently, he was simply meant as a lifeless mask Jekyll could use to indulge himself.

   With his last ties back to civilised humanity (being Jekyll) severed, he becomes far more animalistic and primitive, both physically and behaviourally. But alas, the show must go on, and the world won’t stop spinning when your alter ago suddenly becomes a very real creature who’ll probably die without you.

   Hyde has no prior memory, and Jekyll has two options, start him from scratch and turn his life around, or make him a loyal puppet to do his dirty work for him.

   Inevitably, Scotland Yard catches on to the strange little creature sighted near docks and pubs late at night, and when young alienist Dr Lucius Rook arrives from America and is assigned to the case, he gets far more than he initially bargained for.

    

   Alternatively, London vs a pretzel addicted Mormon with a fainting disorder and a dangerously compassionate way of thinking.
