    Plot
    There's a street that ensnares those who have something to hide in their past, where guilt becomes instant death.

    In this place that exists between realities, halfway between our world and the afterlife, we are introduced to characters such as Pranky the Boy Scout and Mr. X, Sisterhood, Mrs. Goodbody, Matinee Monster, Doctor Ego, and many others, who are known as the Residents of Hyde Street. They must collect souls for the mysterious Scorekeeper; once they reach ten thousand, they are released.

    Each installment tells stories about terrible deeds committed by people who usually get away with them, but in this place they pay for all those atrocities. It's an anthology of stories whose unifying element is the "residents" who are in charge of meting out punishment. These residents compete with each other and have different objectives, as well as their own sins to atone for.

    There is a recurring, in-depth psychological analysis where all these characters are in a constant, desperate search for redemption, paying the price for their own selfish desires, with a fast-paced narrative full of horror.


    Art
    The art is organic and full of mesmerizing details that lend a somber tone to what initially seem to be innocuous moments, with excellent facial expressions and masterful use of body language, all within a retro aesthetic that evokes the same eerie atmosphere as 1980s supernatural and slasher horror films.
