devastation of nuclear warfare. Now, in his remote seaside farmhouse,
Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees, with only the company of
his housekeeper and her young son, Roger. Grappling with the diminishing
powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits the
circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement, and
searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love – before it’s too late.
