Dark Matter by Nicholas Cross.

Dark Matter is a political satire and a dark comedy that aims at showing an uncompromised view of our political world seen from backstage. It questions Power, its reality, its visibility and its layers. As well as the capacity of a human being to survive and deal with the duel between morality and necessity.

Washington DC in a near future. Congress is burning. Riots have taken over the streets. Chaos is at the doorstep.

Fame-addicted and corrupted congressman John White and cold blooded banker Blythe Sanders; both sharing heavy responsibilities in the current crisis, are sent to meet in an abandoned office.

Meeting for the second time in 15 years, John and Blythe are caught in the whirlpool of their incompatible vision of Power, Love and Society. They are now irreversibly stuck together for better, for worse and for the world to come.
