How do you resurface after hitting rock bottom? How do you find authentic happiness in a life that is, for the outside, picture-perfect? This Beautiful City is made up of five lead characters that struggle to find the balance between pain and pleasure within very different boundaries of money and class. Pretty is a prostitute and intravenous crack addicting living in an area of Toronto that sees swank condo dwellers as her neighbours. She turns tricks to feed her addiction and struggles with the inconsistency of her boyfriend Johnny, also an addict. In the other while, Harry is a man who has coasted through life without questioning what makes him happy. Great job, great home, great wife: he has achieved success by society’s standards. What Harry understands to be reality comes crashing down after a near-fatal event involving his wife, Carol. After plummeting from her balcony, Carol miraculously escapes with only a crippled leg. Peter, the detective who discovers Carol after her fall, is haunted by failed attempts at finding his missing daughter. Now the only semblance of emotional salvation comes from his secret meetings with the recovering Carol.
