Drawn from the contents of several canonical Holmes stories, Dietz’s adaptation of this 1899 collaboration between Doyle and Victorian stage actor William Gillette finds the Great Detective at the end of his career, contemplating a life empty of feeling as the specter of Dr. Moriarty descends upon London.  What happens when a man who has spent a lifetime making himself into the perfect machine for catching criminals meets a perfect adversary?  What happens when that same man encounters the prospect of love?  The game is afoot as Holmes and Watson strike out on one last case!
