Many years ago, on a dark and stormy night, the disfigured and enigmatic
Doctor John Smith invited his closest friends, Inspector Victor Schaeffer
and his wife, Jacqueline, to a dinner to celebrate his birthday. A few
hours later all the occupants in that house had been changed some
were dead, others mentally scared forever by the events of that night.
So, what happened to the distinguished dinner guests on that evening?
Perhaps, we'll never know. But two clues have led to much speculation
found outside the study window, a charred umbrella with a curved red
handle and found inside the house, a blood-stained of Stevenson's
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
For one person, this night represented an ending: an ending to one
thousand years of darkness and an ending to ten years of light.
But, for everyone else, is there no ending of this one night of Hell?

kills us to do so!"

Doctor John Smith: "I'd give anything to know my past,
anything to know what - who I am."
