THE RIPPER FILES
By Paul Zambrano

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE:

After four murders, two rogue female investigators are tasked with tracking down the serial killer we know as Jack the Ripper. As they get hot on his trail, not only are their lives put in dangers, but everyone around them as well.

SYNOPSIS:

Elizabeth Stone and Clarice Shepard are two contract investigators in London, who are periodically hired undercover by the Scotland Yard to assist in solving cases their own police force fail to close. Elizabeth lives with her sick father, Warren Stone, whose illness is currently unknown. Clarice is a lesbian, living with her reckless mistress, Mia Akers. After the murder of Catherine Eddowes, the fourth murder of Jack the Ripper, Inspector Frederick Abberline, the leading detective on the Ripper murders, enlists the two women to finally assist on the case.

In their investigation, Stone and Shepard deduce that the number of false confessions that have happened around the murders might be their one clue to finding the Ripper, and set off to finds the people who started the frenzy.

However, both Elizabeth and Clarice receive a threatening letter from Jack the Ripper himself, putting Warren and Mia’s lives in danger if they continue to pursue the case. Inspector Abberline demands that they stop their work and think about their loved ones.

Proving to be too late, Stone and Shepard separately go home to find Warren and Mia murdered in the same fashion as the four previous Ripper murders.

After these events, Elizabeth and Clarice decide to go rogue, and hunt for Jack on their own terms, without the permission of Abberline, with a vow to kill the Ripper at any cost.
