Rune has now graduated to the first rung on the ladder of film documentary success - a major New York network news department. Once there, she finds herself inexorably drawn to the brutal murder of the network head, and to the young drifter accused of the crime, who, she swiftly becomes convinced, could not have been the killer. Despite the weight of evidence against the young man, Rune decides to try and prove his innocence, and finds an unlikely - and untrustworthy - ally in bitchy-but-powerful anchorwoman, Piper Sutton.
