Robert Binder is a prominent attorney currently waiting to hear from the White House about his appointment as Assistant Secretary to the Department of Health and Human Services. His wife, Ann, is a renowned economist and, quite possibly, a future Nobel Laureate. Their teenage son, JG, is a musical prodigy. The Binders have built the perfect life. Then, late one night, while Robert is on a run to get Ann some cold medicine from a nearby pharmacy, he sees a woman being forced into a van. Robert immediately stops his car to intervene in the abduction and-a split second later-the Binders' perfectly constructed world shatters. In our era of high-tech communications and media saturation, the wrath of one deeply troubled, irrational person can become the whole, viral story-and Robert will find out that accusation and conviction in the court of public opinion are not necessarily two separate things. City of Darkness is a thriller that will shake you to your perfectly constructed core.
