The story

When big-city newspaper reporter Mike Reese writes and publishes a story (after breaking his promise to withhold it) that results in the murder of a state's witness against a local mobster, he loses his job. He soon finds that no one else will hire him, so he extracts money from the mobster (who is actually grateful for the story Reese published), moves to small-town Lakeville, and buys a half-interest in the newspaper, The Lakeville Sentinel. The newspaper is owned by Catherine Harris, who immediately has differences with Reese on how things should operate.
