Description:
In this gripping story, the relentless pursuit of sensational headlines turns into a chilling game of manipulation and retribution. An unprincipled newspaper owner, driven by ratings and revenue, pushes his editor to weave a thrilling serial around an unsolved murder from the past. Unbeknownst to them, this decision triggers a chain of events that torments a woman deeply connected to that crime. As the fictional narrative unfolds in the newspaper, it begins to eerily parallel real-life developments, blurring lines between fact and fiction, guilt and innocence. The narrative delves into themes of journalistic ethics, the power of media, and the far-reaching consequences of unearthing long-buried secrets.
