   Summary

   The year is 1945 and John Watson has just returned home from the war with more than his fair share of haunting nightmares. Suffering from PTSD and struggling with a terrible bout of insomnia, he longs to return to the stage to perform his jazz tunes. When a contest is announced for bands to write an original song in honour the returned soldiers and the end of the war, John assembles a band of veterans- including Greg, Philip, Sholto, and others- to win the grand prize.

   The circumstances under which he finds himself meeting Sherlock Holmes are less than ideal. Despite their unlikely meeting, the bond between them eases their respective adjustments to the post-war life.
