A piercing satire about a journalist working the night shift at a tabloid and the explosive consequences of her "harmless" clickbait.
Washed-up New York journalist Frankie Miller is getting desperate. Since the twenty-nine-year-old lost her dream job at a glossy magazine three months ago, her days have been filled with overdue bills, cereal for dinner, and a flood of rejection emails (not to mention her ex has a new girlfriend). So when she's offered a job at The Scoop, a notorious tabloid website run by tyrannical editor-in-chief David Brown, she can't exactly afford to say noโeven if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, for Frankie, it's just a paycheck, a temporary detour. It's not forever.
But the deeper she's pulled into the breakneck world of tabloid journalism, the blurrier the line between ambition and morality becomesโuntil she crosses it. When her reporting humiliates a beloved pop star and dredges up grief over her late mother, Frankie sets off a chain reaction that spirals beyond her control. In an industry where reputation is currency and outrage sells, how far is Frankie willing to goโand how much is she willing to loseโto win at this ruthless game?
Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly bold, The Scoop is a searing exploration of ambition, exploitation, and the human toll of the 24/7 news cycle.
