Join Dr. Watson in a twisty, tantalizing mystery as he navigates a deadly guessing game to uncover the truth behind three men claiming to be Sherlock Holmes, in Jeffery Hatcher's gripping adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's original tale, Holmes and Watson.
Sherlock Holmes is dead. Or at least he is believed to be. The great detective went over the Reichenbach falls with his nemesis, Professor Moriarty. But his body was never found. Three years later, Sherlock’s best friend and sidekick, Dr. Watson, receives word that three men claiming to be Sherlock Holmes are being held in an asylum on a remote island. Watson makes his way to the island to disprove the imposters, but when he arrives nothing is as it seems, and identifying the real Sherlock turns into a deadly guessing game. In this gripping adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s original mystery, Jeffery Hatcher’s Holmes and Watson is a twisty, tantalizing mystery that keeps its characters and audience alike guessing until the final moments.
