1868, London: When Sherlock's friend Beatrice appears at his door late at night, claiming to have been attacked by the Spring Heeled Jack--a fictional, fire-spitting character from the Penny Dreadfuls--Sherlock assumes she's lying. Soon, however, the Jack attacks again--and Sherlock is on the case.
