“Slick, smart and engrossing.” —Charles Isherwood, Variety
Rookie journalist Yvonne arrives at her first big job determined to prove herself as a serious investigative reporter, only to be segregated with the other Black reporters at Outlook, a section of the paper focusing on human interest pieces in the Black community. When an incendiary lead comes to light, she pursues it with the hope of uncovering the truth of a murder—even if it defies her editor's orders.
Inspired by real events, The Story explores the elusive nature of truth as the boundaries between reality and fiction, morality, and ambition become dangerously blurred.
