In the aftermath of the Afghan War, Dr. John Watson returns to a gloomy, fog-shrouded London, a broken and penniless man. Seeking affordable lodgings, he crosses paths with an eccentric, hyper-observant stranger named Sherlock Holmes. They take rooms at 221B Baker Street, but Watson soon realizes his erratic roommate is not a conventional doctor or a scholar, but the world's only consulting detective. When a lifeless body is discovered in an abandoned house—surrounded by splatters of blood, a woman's wedding ring, and the cryptic word RACHE scrawled on the wall—Holmes is summoned by Scotland Yard to do what they cannot. But as the bodies begin to multiply, Watson realizes he has been swept into a lethal conspiracy that demands every ounce of his courage and Holmes's deductive genius.
