John had never been one of the luckiest of people, but his life really seemed to take a turn since Afghanistan. Living on the streets was not something he struggled with, but when the people he comes into contact with start turning up dead, it becomes a lot more challenging. Who else could he turn to but a certain consulting detective?

The bullet that sends John's life astray does more than just damage his shoulder. Armed with the knowledge that things aren't always as they appear he returns to London where he meets something possibly even stranger, the whirlwind that is Sherlock Holmes. (Rated M solely for language)
