Against everyone's advice Sherlock takes a police case involving a brutal serial killer who may surpass even Sherlock's skill.
At first, most people think Sherlock is just trying to prove he's better - a battle of wits like with Moriarty, a game. But not this time. Sherlock takes no pleasure in this case, it's no game.
Unknown to anyone but Lestrade, Sherlock has a very personal reason for taking this case and is the reason Lestrade trusts Sherlock. But the case is wearing Sherlock down in a way no one has seen before, and that scares John in a way nothing else can. Could this be the case to break Sherlock? Not if John and Lestrade have any say in the matter
