In the coastal city of Ligiplatz, murders are occurring, suspiciously similar to the work of the executed Jack the Ripper from a few years ago. The gendarmerie is on the move, but they have a suspect…

Walter Howard — a fleeing aristocrat hiding his origin and past. He meets Elster, who blackmails him into helping her get to Albion. But the city is not as harmless as it seems — it is filled with a toxic fog, and one can only walk there in masks. In his ancestral estate, the young man finds Jack the Ripper's diary. Walter becomes obsessed with his story, begins to hear a mysterious whisper, and sees things he should not. Jack the Ripper killed his beloved, and now Walter fears he will repeat his fate and kill Elster, whose feelings strangely cloud his mind.
