FILM In developmenT/GRAPHIC NOVEL

Paris, 1901. It is a city of possibility, a time of renewal. Science, technology, and the arts converge with Parisian culture to ignite a golden age of prosperity and influence like never before seen. But when members of high society are found brutally murdered, with no discernable motive, paranoia and fear sweep through the city like wildfire. Theaters are closed, cafés are empty, and the once vibrant metropolis is brought to its knees by this dark malevolence.

It is in the midst of this shadowy existence that a young, brash detective, Thierry Bergon, discovers an ominous link between the victims. His investigation ultimately ignites a chain of events that brings him face to face with an evil beyond understanding…beyond reason. The appearance of new victims — their bodies mutilated and dismembered — leaves Bergon with the certainty that his only hope and perhaps the city’s salvation rests in the mind of one man. 

Now resigned to a quiet life on the outskirts of London, Inspector Thomas Shelby battles the demons of his past and the psychological scars from never solving a series of murders that rocked London 13 years earlier.

Bergon, concluding the criminal mastermind behind the current murders is in fact the inspector’s old nemesis, Jack the Ripper, offers Shelby a shot at redemption. While battle-scarred and mentally fatigued, Shelby agrees to join Bergon in Paris, embarking on a perilous hunt to uncover the origin of the killer before he strikes again.

But the hunters become the hunted once they discover the identity of the killer…a truth beyond reason, beyond the realm of the living. It is in this nexus between mortality and eternal life, that they will find the true nature of evil and potentially unravel one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Now, on the brink of defeat, Bergon and Shelby must overcome incredible odds and fight for their lives, the truth, and the soul of Paris.
