Once George was a famous boxer. He had no equal either in Russia or Europe, but because of the intrigues of his competitors, he had to interrupt his sports career at the “peak” and emigrate to the USA. He vowed never to return to his homeland ... But the vow was broken. The reason was the serious illness of the coach, who was once the closest person for him. 10 years ago, they were divorced by a major quarrel. Returning to St. Petersburg, George also meets his long-standing enemy, who is now connected with the near-sport criminal business. George will have to unravel the complex "criminal tangle", take part in the fate of a young boxer and, having met with his mother, fall in love again ...

The main character of this one - Antonina - a wife, mother, mistress of the house, wakes up after an unusually bright dream and realizes that she has not lived her whole life as she wanted. There were strangers around, people she didn't like, and it wasn't her life at all. She realizes this so clearly that even at the funeral of her own husband, Antonina does not cry, is not killed, and it seems that this death does not concern her at all. And this is despite the fact that my husband lived a long and prosperous life...

L'action se déroule dans l'Angleterre victorienne du dernier quart du XIXe siècle. Sherlock Holmes, détective amateur de 27 ans, devient témoin d'un crime avec le Dr John Watson, un médecin militaire qui vient de rentrer de la guerre en Afghanistan. Au cours de l'enquête, Watson, n'ayant pas encore d'appartement à Londres, s'installe avec Holmes dans la "demi-pension" de Mme Hudson, puis prend part aux affaires de son nouvel ami. Watson donne des cours de boxe à Holmes. Watson lui-même est un boxeur expérimenté, capable de faire face à plusieurs adversaires à mains nues. De plus, c'est un excellent tireur d'élite. Considérant Holmes comme un génie, le médecin décide de raconter au monde entier son talent et les mystères qu'il a révélés dans ses histoires, où il embellit souvent les événements ("l'histoire vraie" dont la série présente). Watson apprend à embellir les événements par le rédacteur en chef du Morning Chronicle.
