Jacklean is driving her whip-smart teenage granddaughter Georgia to her house for the weekend when they decide to play Things Needing Explanation - a game from Georgia’s childhood where the two try to outsmart each other with made-up crime scenes.

A modern-day feminist retelling of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, Hyde is an explosion of female rage, freedom, and power.

Jackie, a young Black psychopharmacologist, has developed a drug called Hyde that allows women and femmes to access the parts of themselves repressed by society: pleasure, liberation, certainty, fury. After losing funding for a clinical trial, Jackie decides to take Hyde on her own – and her group of best friends decide to take it with her. Uninhibited and primal, this adaptation explores what could happen if women were granted access to their rage.
