a too- earnest, tropey drama that’s well-intentioned but heavy-handed in checking all the requisite contextual boxes.
Swank, 48, plays Eileen Fitzgerald, an abrasive, hard-charging investigative reporter for the New York City newspaper The Vanguard. She’s digging into a five-star general who’s under consideration as the country’s next Secretary of Defense. Elizabeth is convinced he’s involved in illegal international arms deals and her one trusted source gives her incriminating information to back that up — with one huge problem: the general and his team claim the documents are forged.
That’s where she’s visited by her old newspaper colleague, crusty Stanley Kornick . They had a falling out 17 years earlier but he’s here now, rumpled and in her Architectural Digest-type digs, to offer her a job at the Daily Alaskan, the state’s largest newspaper where he’s editor-in-chief. Cut to Elizabeth on a plane bound for Anchorage as the paper’s new star reporter. Her fierce, take-no-prisoners, rubbing-everyone-the-wrong-way facade is dented a bit when she suffers a mid-flight panic attack — see, shevulnerable — but by Day One in her Anchorage hotel room she’s already plastered the wall with photos of the indigenous women whose disappearances she’s now investigating … and immediately clashes with her new colleagues .
