Summary
Based on some of literature’s horror and science
fiction classics, this is the story of a remarkable group of
women who come together to solve the mystery of a series of
gruesome murders — and the bigger mystery of their own
origins. Mary Jekyll, alone and penniless following her
parents’ death, is curious about the secrets of her
father’s mysterious past. One clue in particular hints
that Edward Hyde, her father’s former friend and a
murderer, may be nearby, and there is a reward for
information leading to his capture… a reward that would
solve all of her immediate financial woes. But her hunt leads her to Hyde’s daughter, Diana, a
feral child left to be raised by nuns. With the assistance of
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Mary continues her search for
the elusive Hyde, and soon befriends more women, all of whom
have been created through terrifying experimentation:
Beatrice Rappaccini, Catherin Moreau, and Justine
Frankenstein. When their investigations lead them to the discovery of a
secret society of immoral and power-crazed scientists, the
horrors of their past return. Now it is up to the monsters to
finally triumph over the monstrous.
