Playing the renowned sleuth is Jason Durr with Andrew Hall as sidekick Watson, Adrian Lukis as Sherlock’s brother Mycroft, Tanya Franks as the alluring Irene Adler and Victor McGuire as Inspector LeStrade.

Two years after Reichenbach Falls, Holmes has lost his hunger.

Refusing new cases, he’s listless, bankrupt and reduced to selling stories of his past glories. But when his brother is 
arrested for treason, Holmes is back in action.
