In March of 1975, as NEW YORK hurtles toward bankruptcy and the Bronx melts away, newsman Coleridge Taylor roams law enforcement officials precincts and ERs. He's looking for the storyplot that will deliver him from obits, his place of exile at the Messenger-Telegram. Ever since he was demoted from the police beat for inventing resources, the 34-year-old has been a lost soul. An escape comes at Bellevue, where Taylor views the body of an homeless teen picked up in the Meatpacking District. Taylor smells a rat: The lifeless boy appears too clean, and he's wearing a distinctive military field jacket. Just a little digging discloses that the jacket belonged to a hobo called Draw Voichek and that the young was a spoiled society youngster up to no good, the kid of an city public. Taylor's efforts to protect Voichek put him on the strike set of three goons who are prepared to kill any number of street visitors to cover tracks that just might lead to city hall. Taylor has only one ally in the newsroom: young and lovely reporter Laura Wheeler. But time is not on his part, if he doesn't wrap this tale up soon, he'll be back again on the obits site - as a headline, not a byline.
