Come Back Alive

The Possessed Team 

Are the desires of humans fated to be wicked? The human desire for love is greater than our desire to hurt others. More people wish to love others than harm others. Otherwise, humanity would already be extinct. This is where the drama begins. What if Hyde was the embodiment of love and goodness, not of wickedness? What if Jekyll was not a nice man chained by morality, but an evil, radical, selfish individual with no knowledge of petty things like love? We look at Dr. Jekyll and Hyde from the opposite point of view through the story of Jekyll, who, afraid to love, has lived a cranky, prideful life, and Hyde, who is a sweet guy that knows nothing but love!
