Robert Ferguson arrives at 221B Baker Street in desperation. He has witnessed something impossible: his wife sucking blood from their infant son. The distraught husband turns to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson because even an engineering firm has refused to tackle his vampire inquiry. Holmes must determine whether supernatural forces truly threaten the Ferguson household or if rational explanation lies behind the wife's disturbing behavior. Watson accompanies the detective as they investigate what may be their most bizarre case yet. The mystery challenges everything the duo thought they knew about the possible and impossible. At its heart, this adaptation explores a family torn apart by fear and misunderstanding, where a mother's actions threaten to destroy the bonds that should protect her child.
