Here, the classic tale of good vs. evil is told through the eyes of Mary Reilly (Roberts), a housemaid who lives in the house of Dr. Henry Jekyll (Malkovich).

Devoted to the brilliant, reserved doctor, Mary finds herself drawn to his mysterious assistant, Mr. Hyde. Together they share a terrible secret that casts a shadow of fear and danger on the Jekyll household.
