From their first meeting it was an extraordinary relationship. The brilliant and enigmatic Holmes, acknowledged expert in all matters criminal, and his accomplished chronicler Watson, military doctor and veteran of the second Afghan War, were not only colleagues, but close friends. This is the story of that friendship, and the mystery that threatened to destroy it. This performance contains adult content and is recommended for ages 16 and older.
