The world's only consulting detective, an ex-army doctor, an art therapist, and an American who loves music. These sound like four very different people, right? Definitely. Em isn't quite sure what she expects to deal with when she decides to leave her home in the US to go and live with her half-sister (Athena) all the way over in London at the address of 221C Baker Street. Being woken up from trying to sleep off her red-eye flight jet lag by all the ruckus being made by her and her sister's new 221B neighbor was not something she wanted to have to deal with right away. However, she storms up the stairs and gives Mister Sherlock Holmes a piece of her mind. How does he respond? What happens when the landlady (Mrs Hudson) suggests Sherlock look for a new flatmate in order to make paying the rent a bit easier on himself? And how does Em and Athena's dynamic with Sherlock change when Doctor John Watson walks into their lives? Something dark and eerie lurks in the shadows, watching our team of four mystery solvers take the world of crime solving by storm. Eventually, things will be revealed about one of our Baker Street Four that will make the other three see them in a whole new light.
