Synopsis: | ||
Emerald City has a brush with the fourth estate when shrewd TV newsmagazine producer Lisa Logan unleashes her cameras on the cell block. During preliminary tapings, she begins her focus on Beecher, but several prisoners drop hints about a cover-up in the violent death of Simon Adebisi and Logan smells a sure-fire ratings hit. But it's Jack Eldridge who ultimately gets the story when the pompous talking head has an unexpected reunion with the O'Reily brothers--his interview subjects for a piece 20 years earlier. | ||
