As fear builds and the local community starts to unravel, with the murders showing no sign of stopping, Abberline has to face horrors in his own past, as he continues the investiagtion. Through the show, we meet members of the local community, incliding several of the suspects, many of the Rippers victims - and Jack the Ripper himself...
