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 Rippers legacy, from crimes that have not only irretrievably altered their lives, but the very fabric of their city. At the dramas heart our detectives try to bring a little light into the dark world they inhabit.
