Sixteen year old Darius Johnson is an intelligent but lazy kid with no ambition, whose worries are limited to basketball, girls, and trying not to fail. One thing he is sure of is that he has a small knack for deduction, so when he and his best friend Richard "Rich" Chase find the body of a classmate, and Rich's older brother is the suspect, Darius takes it upon himself to try and solve the case, but not having the faintest idea of how to be a detective. So, the world famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his young protege Jamie Watson, daughter of John and Mary, decide to help the boy.
St Bartholomew's Boarding School seemed to be the same in a long list of schools fifteen year old Sherlock Holmes had been to.

When valued items of members of their year begin to go missing Sherlock decides to investigate, pulling John into it with him. As things begin to get more sinister leading towards more than just petty thievery the two realise there is something more to it. So they set up a secret society in the school. One led by Sherlock Holmes, the young consulting detective (the only one in the world). The Sociopath Society.
