Когда никто не говорит тебе правду, приходится рискнуть, чтобы узнать ее самому. Так начинается приключение, которое приведет Шерлока в Америку - в самый центр смертельно опасной паутины, где жизнь не стоит ни гроша, а истина имеет такую цену, которую не согласится заплатить ни один разумный человек.
