The death of a small town mayor becomes the catalyst for change for the local newspaper and Bill Brown, a surfer and reluctant reporter. Bill would rather go surfing, drink coffee and flirt with Angelique. The death propels him to take his work, and life, more seriously as he is thrown into the investigation of what becomes more than a ‘sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll’ murder. The Last Newspaper in the World and its journalists are working in a changing era even as they race against new mega-media outfits to discover the truth, and lies, behind what is happening to their town.
