New York City newspaper The Day is in trouble. Even though editor Ed Hutcheson has worked hard running the paper, its circulation has been steadily declining. Now the publisher's widow wants to sell the paper, which will most likely mean its end. Hutcheson's only hope is to finish his exposé on a dangerous gangster before the sale is finalized.
VIBE
A frantic, smoke-filled dive into the cutthroat world of journalism. It's all about the ticking clock, the moral compromises, and the desperate fight for truth in a city drowning in corruption. Pure, unadulterated noir grit.
