As long as Newark Eagle-Examiner reporter Carter Ross turns in his stories on deadline, no one bats an eye if he doesnt wander into the newsroom until 10 or 11 in the morning. So its an unpleasant surprise when hes awakened at 838 a.m. by a phone call from his boss, telling him a local policeman was killed and to get the story. Shaking himself awake, Carter heads off to interview the cops widow. And then he gets another call the storys off, the cop committed suicide. But Carter cant understand why a man with a job he loved, a beautiful wife, and plans to take his adorable children to Disney World would suddenly kill himself. And when Carters attempts to learn more are repeatedly blocked, its clear someone knows more than hes saying about the cops death.
