Sussex, 1947. Agé de 93 ans, Sherlock Holmes coule une retraite paisible dans un cottage, en compagnie de sa gouvernante et du fils de celle-ci, Roger, un enfant malicieux d'une dizaine d'années. Le détective est toujours préoccupé par une affaire sur laquelle il a enquêté trente ans auparavant et dont il avait interdit à Watson de faire le récit. Malheureusement, atteint de sénilité, sa mémoire lui joue des tours et il ne se rappelle que d'une altercation avec un époux en colère et d'Ann Kelmot, une belle et mystérieuse jeune femme. Aidé par Roger, Holmes décide donc de rouvrir l'enquête et de tenter de démêler le vrai du faux dans ses souvenirs...

02:10He wasn't able to solve it.
02:12If he can't put those things back together, then he can't move forward.
02:15His superpowers are his intellect.
02:20He was the master of science and logic and order.
02:24But at the end of his life, those things had failed to provide him with what he needed.
02:27And that's what he comes to discover.
