Eddie Hyde

"Fight Club" meets "Black Mirror," a darkly comedic and psychological exploration of identity, ego, and the consequences of internet anonymity in the age of social media. In a world dominated by social media and endless validation, Henry “Hank” Jekyll—a struggling screenwriter—creates an anonymous online persona, Eddie Hyde, to vent his frustrations at his successful friend, Richard. What begins as petty, anonymous trolling spirals into a full-blown internet crusade, with Eddie Hyde amassing a massive following and unleashing chaos on Richard’s life. As Richard fights back, the boundaries between Hank and Eddie blur. Hank’s online alter-ego consumes him, fueling increasingly sinister actions. Richard's retaliation—and his refusal to block or ignore Eddie—only escalates the feud, pushing both men toward a breaking point. When the harassment leads to a public scandal, a destroyed friendship, and even violent consequences, Hank finds himself trapped in a web of his own making. A chance to walk away arises, but Hank’s dark alter-ego isn’t so easily silenced. Eddie Hyde is a sharp, satirical reimagining of Stevenson’s classic tale, exploring the toxic allure of internet fame, anonymity, and the consequences of losing oneself in the digital abyss. A modern-day morality play, it blends biting humor with psychological tension, questioning how far people will go to feed their egos—and what’s left when the mask comes off.
