SUMMARY
“Jekyll & Hyde” is the evocative tale of two men—one, a doctor, passionate and romantic; the other, a terrifying madman—and two women—one, beautiful and trusting; the other, beautiful and trusting only herself. Both women fall in love with the same man and both unaware of his dark secret. A devoted man of science, Dr. Henry Jekyll is driven to find a chemical breakthrough that can solve some of mankind’s most challenging medical dilemmas. Rebuffed by the powers that be, he decides to make himself the subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally unleashing his inner demons and the man that the world would come to know as Mr. Hyde. (Rated PG-13)
