Seattle, 1933. Hungry and ambitious young reporter William "Shoe" Shumacher gets a tip that there's been a murder. The story is going to be front-page news, and Shoe is the first reporter on the scene. The victim, Frankie Ray, is a former prizefighter. Club owner and mobster George Miller claims he pulled the trigger in self-defense. The more Shoe digs, the more he's convinced nothing is as it seems. In a city steeped in old west debauchery, Shoe's following every lead to a very dangerous place - one that could bring him glory and fame or end his life.
