Rory Deveraux
is excited about arriving in London her senior year to
attend a boarding school in London. However, when the
driver picks her up at the airport he informs her that
“someone pulled a ripper” the night before. It isn’t
long before Rory understands that this means someone has
committed a crime in Jack the Ripper fashion…on the same
date in a different year, but in the same place and
slice and dice fashion. More of these types of murders
begin to occur and it becomes crystal clear that a new
serial murderer, a new Jack the Ripper is amongst their
midst. One of these murders occurs eerily close to the
Wexford Academy. On the night of this murder, Rory
spotted a mysterious man outside of the school. The only
problem is that she seems to be the only one who has
seen him which makes her the murderers only living
witness….and quite possibly his next victim. |
