In 1878, when Mr. Doyle (Robin Laing) meets brilliant teacher Dr. Bell (Ian Richardson), he's drawn away from his college studies into a new world of crime investigation, and the pair helps the local police solve gruesome cases. As they work, Doyle becomes fascinated with Bell's uncanny talent for outwitting the cleverest criminals. But one particularly vicious cat-and-mouse game foretells a different end -- one that will challenge even Dr. Bell. 1
