Mystic River (2003)
The panoramic tale of Savannah’s eccentricities focuses on a murder and the subsequent trial of Jim Williams, a self-made man, art collector, antiques dealer, bon vivant, and semi-closeted homosexual. John Kelso, a magazine reporter with one book — Before the Fall — to his name, arrives in Savannah, amid beautiful architecture and odd doings, to write a feature for Town & Country on one of Williams’ famous Christmas parties. After being unable to find a taxi, Kelso gets a ride from a tour-bus driver to Jones Street.
After a tour of Savannah’s tourist hotspots, Kelso alights at Forsyth Park. Making his way to his lodging in Monterey Square, he has a brief interaction with Billy Hanson in front of Mercer House. Kelso visits the Armstrong Mansion offices of Sonny Seiler, lawyer to Jim Williams. Seiler introduces Kelso to Williams, and they take Seiler’s dog, Uga IV, for a walk through Forsyth Park. The following night at Williams’ annual Mercer House Christmas party, Kelso is guest of honor. Long after the guests have all left, Hanson is shot dead by Williams in his office.
