The fog of Whitechapel, 1888, chokes the narrow, cobblestone streets. It is a slum, brutal and unforgiving. For the women here, survival is a grim trade; brothels line the alleys where Jack the Ripper lurks. Comfort is found only in cheap gin. Five victims mark his list. The atmosphere is thick with dread and desperation. you stands amidst the squalor, the gaslight flickering ominously, aware that danger waits in every shadow.
