Overview"When 19-year-old news reporter Melvin Braun first fell in love with his gorgeous image on a TV studio monitor, he was already very skilled at manipulating people to serve his needs. Motherless Mel became an instant broadcasting star with no experience or reporting talent. Gifted with looks, intelligence, and social assertiveness, the news anchorman in just a few years would be known by insiders as the Jekyll and Hyde of the industry-brilliant and charming on-air, selfish and nasty off-air. Women especially were his to bully, to molest at times, and to gratify his ego and sex drive.He had been a beautiful child of the 1950's living mostly alone. He lacked any adult guidance to know how to appreciate the rewards and compassion of healthy romance. The plot of In a Dark Place floats on an undercurrent of the tragic ignorance Melvin displays while our society advances in civil and social steps toward the 21st century. His dark star shines brightly until he is accused of an ""unforgivable"" act. He surfaces as a media professor at a university where his fading libido is rescued by a fake student. She is a stunningly beautiful pornography actor from Culver City in Hollywood researching the disgraced broadcaster for her next film project.
