David is an ambitious photojournalist, a rookie in the cut throat game of opportunism in the news media. He is sent to cover the tragic case of a local politician who accidentally kills his own toddler grandson. At the accident site the media are cashing in on the story from every angle imaginable. Never one to be left out, David finds himself a brilliant photo opportunity - the politician and his own daughter, the mother of the dead toddler, sharing a private moment of grief. The photo could launch David's career, but he makes a moral choice in not exploiting this opportunity, and gains much more than he loses.
