Purists may wince, but this brash, needle-dropping take on a pre-genius Holmes is undeniable fun — a caffeinated mystery romp that coasts on Guy Ritchie pace and Hero Fiennes Tiffin's live-wire charm.

## Synopsis

Before the deerstalker: at nineteen, Sherlock Holmes is a brilliant, self-destructive troublemaker packed off to Oxford, where a murder investigation makes him its prime suspect. Clearing his name demands an unlikely alliance with scholarship student James Moriarty and a breakneck hunt — across Victorian England and beyond — for a missing relic tied to a conspiracy uncomfortably close to home. Guy Ritchie lends his kinetic swagger to an irreverent origin story for fiction's greatest detective.
