In America, can a man be guilty until proven innocent? Suppose you picked up this morning’s newspaper and your life was a front-page headline . . . and everything they said was accurate but not true. This is the dilemma one man faces in this thought-provoking drama about the incredible power of the press. Michael Gallagher (an Oscar-nominated Paul Newman) reads in the paper that he is the subject of a criminal investigation. Suddenly, everything he has ever worked for is in jeopardy. With his life hanging in the balance, Gallagher, along with the article’s author, relentless investigative reporter Megan Carter (Sally Field), sets out to uncover the truth about who planted the story and why.
