DAIRY RANCHER KILLED IN REDDIRT! Just the story public access news reporter Henry Dillonsworth needs to catapult his career out of small-town Reddirt, and into the big-time! That is, if network affiliate star reporter (and Henry's ex-flame) Joan Virago doesn't beat him to it.

But Henry isn't worried. He knows the REAL story is out there, behind the network puff that fills the prime-time slots. But trump the competition? Only Joan's team has the budget, and the connections to keep the stories hot, and the viewers coming back! That is, until Henry's cameraman, Billy Braddock, discovers a contest where the best reported story wins a lead position on cable's most revered news network.

Now Henry has a chance! Or does he? He isn't the only one ready to blow this small-town. Joan learns of the contest too, and she's not letting anything stop her from delivering the exclusive first!

Just when it seems safe to cross the cow pasture, another rancher turns up dead! Rumors for the motive run wild. Alien abduction, and ghostly possession become topics of the day... well, at least with online newsletter publishers Kenneth Swan and Derek Smalls. Their CryptoConspiracist.com website 'dares to get at the whole truth and nothing but the truth.'

Then there's Cookie Robarts. She hosts a network magazine show on Sunday mornings - but she wants more! And in her ambitious plight to be the network's top dog she uncovers a key witness. Now the race is on!

As Reddirt News Anchor, Ted Strothers would say, "Stay tuned for new developments as they arise."
