Spoilers ahead

Gabriel Van Helsing, a seasoned monster hunter, teams up with the devout friar Carl as they descend into fog-shrouded London to unravel a string of brutal, supernatural murders. Their quarry is the brilliant but unhinged scientist Dr. Jekyll, whose dark alter-ego, Mr. Hyde, stalks the city with merciless fury. As the two pursuers close in, they discover that the bloodshed ties to something far more sinister than ordinary crime: a secret romance that binds Jekyll to the queenly figure the people call Queen Victoria, a woman who seems to defy time itself.
