This episode is about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man behind Sherlock Holmes.

In his lifetime, he wrote ghost stories, political pamphlets, historical novels, and fantastical adventures.

Following a confrontation with Mormon elders, John Ferrier and his daughter Lucy face a terrifying countdown as unseen enemies mark their home. Jefferson Hope arrives to orchestrate an immediate escape toward Carson City, leading the group on a perilous journey through the mountains to evade pursuers.
