[edit] Plot
Richard Jacks (Tim Daly) is a perfumist working at a major fragrance company who inherits the notebooks of his great-grandfather, Dr. Henry Jekyll. Fascinated by Jekyll's ideas about the duality of man, he starts performing experiments to refine the formula that separates good and evil. Realizing that his ancestor's formula increased male aggression, Richard decides to add more estrogen to the mix in the hope that it will prove less dangerous.
However, Richard's potion has unforeseen side effects; Instead of turning him into a male killer, the drug turns him into Helen Hyde (Sean Young), a ruthless nymphomaniac determined to climb the corporate ladder. More problems arise when Richard's girlfriend Sarah (Lysette Anthony) thinks he is having an affair.
