With The Star at the height of its popularity and power, Fred Best finds himself at the heart of a dangerous game. As the press fuels the hysteria surrounding Jack the Ripper, circulation soars – as does the pressure to keep the story alive. On the orders of his charismatic editor, Fred forges another letter, purporting to be from the killer and escalating the myth. The police, overwhelmed with hoaxes and dead ends, are desperate for a real lead. When the Ripper commits his most brutal murder yet, Mary Jane Kelly, public outcry reaches a fever pitch. But then, the killings suddenly stop, and The Star faces its own reckoning.
