Jekyll & 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.
