Historia
Dr. Henry Jekyll, a brilliant scientist, creates an alter-ego avatar which he downloads directly into his brain. This transformation turns him into Edward Hyde, a psychopathic, hedonistic party animal who indulges in ultra-violent behavior. Hyde becomes obsessed with a sexy stripper and begins to abandon his girlfriend, Lisa, causing tension between them. As Hyde's violent actions leave bodies in his wake, his best friends become increasingly concerned for their safety. Meanwhile, Dr. Jekyll struggles to regain control over his alter-ego and return to his normal life.
