Having spent the last twenty years in Newgate Gaol, Aiden Galvin is sprung from his prison wagon's journey through Whitechapel. Within a short time, he explodeds a device beneath the bed of the prominent MP Cecil Knightly, who is against The Home Rule movement. Chief Inspector Abberline believes that the Irish Republican Brotherhood is at work once again and orders Reid to send the Irish DC Flight undercover into Whitechapel's Irish community.
A drama set in the East End of London in 1889, during the aftermath of the "Ripper" cuddles. The action centres around the notorious H Division - the police precinct from hell - which is charged with keeping order in the chaotic streets of Whitechapel.
Ripper Street explores the lives of characters trying to recover from the Ripper's legacy, from crimes that have not only irretrievably altered their lives, but the very fabric of their city. At the drama's heart our detectives try to bring a little light into the dark world they inhabit.
