Santa Barbra Ca. 1948 Magnus Bane is the top reporter for the Santa Barbra Sun- the hardest hitting paper in the city. His specialty is gritty crime exposes. Magnus is infamous for going to extreme lengths to get the facts for the best scoop, always willing to go the extra mile and put himself on the line for the story. His efforts and notoriety have gained him a wealth of connections and resources that most reporters can only dream of. This has also given him near unfettered access to the SBPD, as well as their cases; something that frequently puts him at odds with head Detective Alec Lightwood. The two men clash quite frequently and it's no mystery why: Magnus is unabashedly open about his inclinations and makes no apologies for it. He is bold, brazen, and completely unashamed, despite the prejudices of the day. He is reckless, somewhat underhanded, and not in any way against bending the rules to get to the truth... Meanwhile Lightwood is the totally by the book, straight-laced, workaholic head Detective and son of the current chief of the SBPD. But when the two men are told to drop a case things get complicated, secrets come to light, and the crack reporter realizes he may have read the 'straight-laced' detective all wrong...
