Cast of Characters.
Henry Parker.
An ambitious, idealistic young reporter for the New York Gazette who spends his days (and nights) in search of The greatest stories never told. Henry comes from a broken family, and has distanced himself from his abusive father and emotionless mother, using his troubled childhood as motivation to succeed. Due to his innate ability to always be in the right place at the wrong time, Henry tends to get in deeper than he ever thought possible, and more than once has found himself in the very crosshairs of those he has sought to investigate. Still, the passion for his work and never ending quest for the truth means that Henry won't be backing down any time soon.
Amanda Davies.
Henry's girlfriend, who he met under typical romantic circumstance: namely Amanda saved Henry's life while he was on the run for his life. Like Henry, Amanda is from a broken home, having grown up in foster care following the death of her parents. A lawyer for New York's Legal Aid Society, Amanda is beautiful, tough and resilient--the girl next door who's more likely to drink you under the table than sashay down the runway. Amanda supports Henry in every way possible, but she knows that his recklessness has led to some close calls for both of them. And Amanda is fully aware that if Henry doesn't slow his motor down, it's only a matter of time before the odds catch up to him' .
Jack O'Donnell.
A New York legend, Jack O'Donnell old-school newsman who's seen and reported it all over a forty year career. Working alongside Henry at the Gazette, Jack has found himself in a position he never imagined: mentor. While Jack, thrice-divorced and childless, sees some of his best professional qualities in Henry, he also knows that Henry's devotion to Amanda might distract him from achieving true greatness in the newsroom. Recently Jack has suffered great humiliation at the hands of Paulina Cole, who publicly exposed his
