Episode 1: (Feb/02/2009)
Ambitious DI Joseph Chandler is assigned an open-and-shut case, the killing of a woman in the East End of London. If he resolves this case quickly, he will be awarded with a long-deserved promotion, but, unfortunately, things don’t turn out to be so straightforward.

The investigation quickly runs out of suspects until Edward Buchan, a renowned Ripperologist, draws the police’s attention to the similarities between the Jack the Ripper killings of 1888 and the modern-day murder that Chandler is investigating. The race begins to catch the copycat killer before he strikes again.

Episode 2: (Feb/09/2009)
Chandler continues to clash with his team, led by the cynical DS Miles. Further suspects lead to dead ends as the detectives attempt to penetrate the conspiracies and myths that surround the legend of Jack the Ripper.

Frustrated, Chandler pins his hopes on trapping their latest suspect, a soldier named Leary, but the operation goes tragically wrong.

Episode 3: (Feb/16/2009)
The final act begins — the Ripper must kill one more victim to complete his re-enactment of the 1888 murders.

Chandler is near a breakdown as he struggles to find an answer. Forensics and CCTV (closed-circuit television) are useless and the team is forced to rely on its instincts, hoping that the past will provide some clue to the killer’s identity.

But time is ticking away and history tells us that Jack the Ripper was never caught …
