Dr. John Watson travels to Egypt with his wife Juliet in 1910. While his wife undergoes treatment, he bumps into Sherlock Holmes, who is disguised and on a case. Sherlock Holmes has discovered that an English Duke has disappeared from his lavish rooms in Cairo and is on the trail of a previous undiscovered and unopened tomb. With the help of Howard Carter, Holmes and Watson are on the trail of something bigger, more important, and more sinister than an errant lord.

In 1910, Dr. John Watson embarks on a journey to Egypt alongside his wife, Juliet, as her tuberculosis resurfaces, necessitating a stay at a sanitarium in a dry climate. However, during his wife's treatment, Dr. Watson encounters an old friend, Sherlock Holmes, disguised and on a case. An English Duke with a passion for Egyptology has mysteriously vanished, prompting inquiries from his wife and the Home Office. Sherlock Holmes has uncovered the truth that the missing duke has disappeared from his lavish rooms in Cairo and that he was in pursuit of an undiscovered and unopened tomb. This revelation reveals that he is merely the latest Egyptologist to meet an untimely demise or vanish under peculiar circumstances. Alongside the assistance of Howard Carter, Holmes and Watson embark on a quest to unravel something far more significant, profound, and menacing than a mere errant lord.
