The Plot
Inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "Miss Holmes" re-examines the Victorian world of Holmes and Watson by exploring the added obstacles faced by these two iconic characters - if they were women.
When an anonymous note sends a newlywed wife looking for help, Miss Sherlock Holmes and Dr Dorothy Watson work together to uncover the secrets surrounding a corrupt police inspector. But this Holmes and Watson face far greater challenges than bringing the criminal to justice. Miss Holmes possesses one of the greatest deductive minds of her generation, but she chafes at the restraints imposed upon her by society, and Dr Watson struggles to make a difference at the only hospital in London that will hire female doctors.
