  Summary

  Making drunken bets with your inner demons generally doesn't lead to anything good, as Dr. Henry Jekyll is beginning to learn. Trying to fix a friendship with someone he hasn't spoken to in nearly ten years, attempting to keep his other half in check, and dealing with a deadly curse, all in a time limit of two weeks? It feels like he's falling apart at the seams. And things only get worse as his two best friends (and unknowing parties in his bet) begin to piece together that something's not right.

  As the days slip away, Jekyll and Hyde find themselves in a desperate race against the clock. Every time Jekyll thinks things can't possibly get worse, they inevitably do. Can he keep his friends from finding out his secrets-- and, of course, stay alive?

  One thing's for sure, Jekyll is not going to have a good time.
