description: Mike Donahue is an old-fashioned South Carolina editor who thinks his newspaper should help people make sense of their world and, when necessary, kick ass and take names. But, day by day, his week goes to hell. On Monday, his paper publishes a fatal stabbing story that confuses the victim with the assailant. On Tuesday, a veteran reporter quits. On Wednesday, Donahue saves his political writer's job from the wrath of a local congresswoman. On Friday, he fires a reporter who has made up a story. Meanwhile, Donahue's staff chases a big story: The state may build a local lockup for repeat sexual offenders. The governor denies it, but a leaked memo proves otherwise. Inexplicably, the newspaper's top editor interferes with his own staff's investigation of the issue. Tension mounts as Donahue and his reporters scramble to find the truth. Ahead lie intrigue, a late-night brawl and a mysterious death.
