HISTORY

In the darkest streets of London lurks a mysterious killer. A spurious impression of prosperity hides poverty and crime from the eyes of the rich and of the idle, as well as from the industrious bourgeoisie, caught as they are in a tangled web of intrigues and affairs, their mind full with the constant whirl of sumptuous parties. London is like a double-edged sword, only reunited at nights, when murders and mysteries are as thick as the swirling fog.

The conflict and arguments between the haves and the have not is swelling in London and while Scotland Yard, helped by the whimsical Mr. Holmes, struggles to solve a trail of inexplicable cases, the reign of Her majesty the Queen is shaken to its very core by social agitation.

Mysterious deaths mix with social events, love stories are splattered with blood, and from above this general confusion rise anguishing figures, murderers, like the tainted Ripper or his new female counter part, the Scarlet rose, eerie dandies, like the un-aging Dorian Gray, mad scientists, like the doctors Jekyll and Frankenstein, good men gone mad with grief, such as Sweeney Todd, the demonic barber of Fleet Street, with their cohorts or admirers, debauched and diseased artists, courtesans and prostitutes, thieves and beggars.

This is the Victorian London, welcome to a city of roses and crime.
