The Paper
“A behind-the-lines look at work, marriage and other forms of combat.”
Henry Hackett, a workaholic tabloid editor, has to juggle personal issues, difficult coworkers, a tempting job offer, a looming deadline and a race to land an exclusive on a recent high-profile murder case, all during one hectic workday.
