Synopsis

Like True Detective through the lenses of William Faulkner, Gesell Dome is a mosaic of misery, a page-turner that will keep you enthralled right until its shocking end. Opening with reports of a child abuse scandal at an elementary school, then weaving its way through dozens of sordid storylines and characters - including various murders, corrupt politicians and real-estate moguls, and the Nazi past of the city - Gesell Dome chronicles the dark underbelly of a popular resort town tensely awaiting the return of the tourist season.
