Thomas had just started studying medicine under Professor Talbot on a full-year scholarship. Plucked out of his small Yorkshire childhood town, Thomas travels all the way to London to secure a better future for himself and the rest of his family. At first, everything is easy; he makes some friends, has a roof over his head and studies in his free time. That's when a new course of study is proposed. During the witching hour, there are some extra lectures to sign up for; lectures on supernatural biology and medicine. It seemed far-fetched at first and Thomas is sure the only reason he even attends is because he paid the tuition through till the New Year. However, with the constant lack of sleep, and a newfound friendship with young aristocrat, Phillip Ridley, Thomas starts taking an interest in the strange events occurring throughout Whitechapel. Until the Ripper's first victim appears on their dissection table. Thomas' life is soon filled with unanswered questions; Why is the Ripper murdering so many people? Why can the police not catch him? And why is Thomas helping Talbot dissect the mutilated victims in the dead of night for his supernatural biology class? It isn't long before Thomas starts to see things that aren't really there. Yet, for some reason, he finds himself drawn to Phillip; the young man seemed to thrive when the sky was dark and the moon grew fat. There was no way that his new found friend was something akin to the horrors Talbot was teaching him about -was he?
