Through world wars and civil strife, the Bangor Express has never missed an issue, but now it is losing money hand-over-fist and Rob Cullen, fresh off the plane from his London news desk, has absolutely no idea that he's the man to save it.

He offers Rob an ultimatum: to compromise the integrity of the paper, or risk his life. A single gunshot is heard outside...
