About the show

After the 13th Earl of Gurney dies in an autoerotic accident, his heir Jack inherits the title while in an asylum, believing himself to be Jesus. His relatives try to cure him and produce a sane heir so they can reclaim the estate. When Jack appears cured, he has instead become a violent figure who believes he is God and Jack the Ripper, murders his allies and claims his place in the House of Lords.
