Plot

Wealthy retiree Justin Playfair, reeling from his wife's death, immerses himself in a fantasy where he believes he is Sherlock Holmes, complete with the iconic attire. Concerned more about his brother's finances than his well-being, Blevins enlists psychiatrist Dr. Mildred Watson to oversee Justin’s care. As Dr. Watson delves deeper into Justin’s world, she finds herself charmed by his eccentricity and starts to embrace his delusions, becoming a willing partner in his imaginative sleuthing adventures. Their unique bond blurs the lines between reality and fantasy as they tackle his whimsical "cases."
