WHEN THE MIGHTY FALL THEY SHOOT THE MESSENGER

Shoot the Messenger is a serialized drama about a big city crime reporter who clashes with the homicide detective she is secretly sleeping with, as they both chase a sensational murder case that reaches into the corridors of political power and big money.

Daisy Channing is a young, whip-smart, sexy reporter whose screwed-up past pushes her to ask difficult questions, putting herself in jeopardy to get the story.

Shoot The Messenger begins with Daisy witnessing the murder of a source she was about to meet. The primary homicide detective on the case, Frank Lutz, believes the shooting is gang-related, but Daisy believes something else is going on.

Working with senior reporter Simon Olendski, Daisy uncovers a sex ring so scandalous it could bring down the government. The prime suspects include charismatic Attorney General Sam Charles, a popular female sitting judge, a professional basketball player, a UK diplomat’s son, and a well-connected Somali dealer, who supplies them all with whatever they desire.

Ultimately Daisy discovers a web of intertwined relationships that leads her into some dark places – where notions of privacy might just be a thing of the past.
