This story most likely picks up after A Scandal in Bohemia. There's a new bad guy in town called Lord Blackwood. Unlike other antagonists, this one has supernatural powers. No matter, Holmes and Watson catches him and sends him to the gallows. This is a grittier Holmes, and I like it.
Meanwhile, Watson is moving his medical practice elsewhere. Holmes is still flirting with Irene Adler. Watson is getting engaged to Mary Morstan. Then, it was reported that Lord Blackwood has risen from the grave. He apparently broke through his mausoleum doors and walked away. The open up his coffin, and the body inside is not his. Turns out Blackwood is the son of the leader of the secret society The Temple of Four. Blackwood killed off his dad in the bathtub, 
and through black magic, intimidated the members of the order to elect him as leader. Their next target? The House of Parliament.

At the end of the movie, Irene cautions Holmes about Professor Moriarty.
