A police detective in Hong Kong races to solve a vicious murder, while the city around him teeters on the brink of destruction. Hong Kong is a city ablazeâ"its streets filled with protesters, its government in crisis, its people torn between rage and fear of what defiance might cost. At the center stands Superintendent Killian Tong, once a rising star in the police, now disgraced and haunted by a tragic accident at a protest. Exiled to a remote post, Killian is called back when a dismembered body is uncovered in a landfill. The gruesome murder could be his path to redemptionâ"if he can withstand mounting pressure from superiors desperate to bury the truth, and the even more dangerous fractures within his own family. His beloved younger sister Jun refuses to speak to him, devoting herself to the protest movement. Once inseparable, the siblings now face each other across barricades, Junâs fierce commitment pulling her closer to arrest and ruin. As Killian follows the murder trail into Hong Kongâs highest corridors of power, he must confront not only the cityâs corruption, but the searing question at his heart: When politics ignites a family war, can love survive the flames? City on Fire is both a taut thriller and a deeply human story of loyalty, betrayal, and the search for redemption in a city under siege.
