Overview

Kevin Ipson, the son of esteemed journalist Henry Ipson, has been working undercover at a troll farm during an election year to make a name for himself by exposing the identity of the outfit's leader. But when he finally gets invited to meet the boss as part of a secretive, small operation, he learns he's been recruited to swing the election for Trellit, the far right candidate. As he scrambles to get the editor at one of the major blogs to take his story even as it's moving faster than he can stop, an informant reaches out to him with an explosive piece of evidence that Trellit committed rape. Rather than remain an underling, Kevin decides to release it and create his own narrative to take down Trellit and his own boss from within the room.
