It's 1879 in bustling London. Prosperity is booming and London is growing by leaps and bounds. The upper crust have embraced the Edwardian Lifestyle with a fervor, flaunting their wealth while the Middle Class struggles to make ends meet. The Lower-Class is hard pressed to share in, and of, this Prosperity. As a result, many young girls are thrown to the lions, and must resort to becoming prostitutes just to survive. Dr. Herbert H. Holmes has a medical practice. He specializes in Gynecology and Woman's Health Issues. As a single man surrounded by a never ending string of beautiful young women, his hormones are raging as he's exposed to the supple bodies of his clients which fuels his desires and fetishes. Due to an accident in medical school, which left his face with a small scar, he's constantly reminded every time that he gazes in a mirror... that he's flawed. After working hard to become a physician he finds himself very bitter that he's unable to attract the true affections of a loving wife. So conversely, he becomes addicted to prostitutes to fulfill his sexual desires. This causes him to walk a tightrope, as he delves into the sadistic side of his soul. Murder. Although he graduated from one of the most prestigious medical colleges in the land, he still suffers from a lack of confidence. He feels like a failure. Yet he must keep his perverted sexual desires a secret. He must maintain A fa?ade as he mingles with London's elite, who are none-the-wiser about his dirty little secret.
