Rob Cullan is sacked from his job at The Guardian following a phone hacking scandal. He returns home to Belfast where Diarmuid Black puts him in charge of failing Irish language newspaper An Nuacht.
The editor has just dropped dead, the boss – Diarmuid – is writing bouncing cheques to cover his debts, the paper is full of propaganda but has no news. It's up to Rob to turn it around with the help of reporters and a young photographer – but in his first week he has already crossed a powerful gang boss and discovered that not all the staff are what they seem.
