Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (2017)

In the heart of Victorian-era England, post the Industrial Revolution, unfolds the enigma that is 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.' The tale is as much about Gabriel John Utterson as it is about his cherished friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll. Utterson, an esteemed lawyer and a true embodiment of a Victorian Gentleman, is bound by a chivalrous code of loyalty towards his companions and the preservation of his societal standing. Utterson finds himself drawn into a daunting investigation, fuelled by an unshakeable allegiance to shield Jekyll from the malignant and conniving Edward Hyde. The introduction to this new world is a leap Utterson is barely prepared for, yet can hardly refuse. The enigmatic Dr. Jekyll, admired for his stature and handsome features, has become entangled with Hyde, a man of stark contrast. Hyde's short, coarse demeanor and unsettling deformity paint a stark contrast to Jekyll's refined elegance. The mystery deepens as Utterson, who is aware of Jekyll's more reckless past, suspects Hyde of blackmailing Jekyll over some long-buried transgression. Utterson's concern revolves around the potential damage to Jekyll's reputation, oblivious to the more profound dangers lurking. As the plot thickens, Jekyll's health deteriorates, and he retreats into seclusion. A subsequent shock, emanating from Jekyll, culminates in the demise of another friend, adding to the mounting tension. Hyde's descent into criminality amplifies, leaving him a fugitive, seemingly wielding a strange power over Jekyll, who appears willing to go to any lengths for his protection. The deeper Utterson ventures into the unsettling world of Hyde, the closer he gets to a horrifying revelation. His friend, Jekyll, harbors a secret so profound it defies the realms of science and nature. Faced with the ghastly truth, Utterson must make a choice. Will he uphold his duty to the laws of England and his profession, or will he uphold the code of a Victorian gentleman, ready to sacrifice it all for the sake of his friend's reputation? The decision lies with him, a choice between his life as a lawyer and the life of a friend, set against the chilling backdrop of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde's haunting tale.
