Mike Raker gets an assignment - the kind he can't turn down. He's covering a nightclub fight, but the gig's rigged. The Mob wants a puff piece, but Mike's under Regulation: automated fact-checking that will see him brutally punished by the Bureau if he's caught bending the truth. When an old flame, Carla, finds herself in the same jam, the two work together to outsmart the Mob and Bureau, but are faced with a choice between truth and survival.
