Synopsis:	Joseph Merrick, a hideously deformed man is subjected to a life of torture and abuse in a London freakshow. He is rescued from circumstances that would surely claim his life by a doctor from the Whitechapel district named Treves. Treves, along with his faithful staff endeavour to keep him safe from the outside world which seeks to claim him. Although monstrous, within Merrick resides the soul of a poet and the conduct of a gentleman, gaining respect from the staff, a beautiful actress, a wealthy countess, even Princess Alexandra of Wales. A story of compassion, suffering and ultimate redemption.
