Follows a seasoned detective on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip. It appears that the murderer's grisly methods are identical to that of London's infamous 19th century psychopath Jack the Ripper – a relentless serial killer who was never caught by police. To make matters worse, the detective soon notices the parallels between the crimes committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer incarcerated years ago. Could the wrong man be behind bars?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
David Ondaatje is the nephew of novelist Michael Ondaatje—nepotism gave us this, apparently.
This was part of a weird 2007-2010 wave of Ripper nostalgia alongside From Hell and that Johnny Depp movie nobody remembers.
