|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | "Chapter One" | July 7, 2022 | Mathematical genius and esteemed professor James Moriarty’s world shatters when his fiancée, Rose Winslow, is mysteriously murdered. Unjustly accused of the crime, Moriarty pins his hopes on the one man who can help him solve the case: the great Sherlock Holmes. |
| 2 | "Chapter Two" | Facing the noose for a crime he didn’t commit, Moriarty must use his wits to prove his innocence to the courts. Reasonable doubt is on his side – but James’ new cellmate, Colonel Sebastian Moran, is not convinced it will save his neck. | |
| 3 | "Chapter Three" | Pulled into a daring prison escape by a gang of criminals, Moriarty battles the morality of his decisions while on the run with Moran. Meanwhile, Scotland Yard fumbles to find the fugitives until Sherlock Holmes arrives to commandeer the manhunt. | |

| 6 | "Chapter Six" | Moriarty’s quest for justice takes a darker turn as he declares war against the Crown. But acquiring the resources for vengeance forces him further into the criminal underworld…just as Sherlock’s closing in on him. | |
