Jekyll's Hydes
Jekyll & Hydes - Story Synopsis
Henry Jekyll is a high school senior and desperately wants to win the science scholarship to
MIT. Problem is, he's going up against a slew of other qualified science wizzes, and hasn't
slept in four days.
In a panicked effort to stay awake he mixes a concoction of Mountain Dew, Red Bull, Venti
Mocha and Pixie Sticks. This potion not only keeps him awake, but it unleashes the several
alter-personalities he's hidden inside. Fido Hyde - the animal. Literally, the human shaped
dog that terrorizes the bad guys. Dino Hyde - the smooth talkin' ladies man that cares about
nothing. Bonnie Hyde - the strappin' highland lass that looks like a babe, but acts like a
man. Oliander Hyde - the new age mystic in touch with everyone's feelings.
These new alter egos unleash a wave of twists and turns that complicate Henry's life. They
will keep him from getting the girl, getting the scholarship, getting the life he wants. But they
may also teach him about what really matters, who he loves and who he is.
Jekyll & Hydes is a Totally Teen Comedy that puts a modern spin on Robert Louis
Stevenson's classic. It's a high octane, 90 mph farce that never lets up.
But it is also a sweet study of who we are vs. who we think we should be. An exploration that
maybe each of us isn't just one thing. Maybe we're all made up of lots of parts and that's
what makes us cool.
