An emotionally-troubled scientist travels back in time to solve the Whitechapel murders. But the Jack the Ripper suspects, the detectives working the case, a corrupt ex-cop in the present day, and even time itself will do anything they can to stop him. After a violent encounter at the Chicago Coin Convention, awkward scientist Vincent D'Angelo makes a quick retreat... farther than anyone would ever think... all the way to Great Britain
and back to the end of the nineteenth century! Armed with over a century's worth of information, theories, and suspects, Vincent sets out to accomplish a feat no one has done before: unmask Jack the Ripper. However, TIME likes its secrets, so much so that it will do anything to keep them. Too bad Vincent didn't know that before he risked everything on his very personal quest. But he'll learn. The hard way.
Meanwhile, in 2014, Fitz, a corrupt ex-cop that Vincent punched in the face at that Coin Convention, becomes pathologically obsessed in solving the mystery that is Vincent D'Angelo. These two men are on a collision course... over a century apart.
