The First Light, the Last Darkness

(u. S.) Graham Moore

206K0

In New York in 1888, gas lights were still flickering over the city, but the miracle of "electricity" had already sprouted. Whoever masters the technology that turns night into day will make history-and gain great wealth. Thomas Edison led the race, suing his only remaining competitor, George Westinghouse, for an unprecedented billion dollars. Westinghouse made a choice that shocked everyone: He hired Paul, a 26-year-old rookie lawyer with no experience. Edison is a powerful, cunning and dangerous opponent, and the challenges Paul faces are daunting. But one thing he has in common with his more famous rivals is the urge to win at any cost. This lawsuit gave Paul the opportunity to see the madness of New York's upper class during the Gilded Age - he discovered that everyone had their own plans and everyone had something different beneath the surface, until he met Nikola Tesla - an eccentric but brilliant inventor who may hold the key to defeating Edison.

Ten years ago (2009) Jessica, the only daughter of the richest man in Los Angeles, disappeared, and her teacher Bobby became the number one suspect. Juror Maya thinks Bobby is innocent. At her insistence, the jury members were persuaded one by one, and together they reached a not guilty verdict. Ten years later (2019) the producers of a documentary reconvened the jurors in the case. On the night of the reunion, Rick, who met and fell in love with Maya during the jury period and turned against each other because of different opinions on the verdict, was found dead in Maya's hotel room. All the evidence shows that Maya is the murderer... Only by finding the truth from ten years ago can we find an exit from the current dilemma.
