The action takes place 3 years after the Reichenbach Falls. Sherlock Holmes, posing as a Professor of Criminology, gives a lecture on himself, the great detective and master of deduction. Presumed dead by his closest friend Dr. John Watson the pair quickly reunite and hurtle headlong into a new mystery. Their arch-nemesis, Moriarty is at large and ready for one final battle...
