Neo-noir TV Pilot Episode: 1934. Ace crime reporter Audrey Corbeau delves behind Hollywood's shimmering facade to report on and crack the cases in LA.

1934. Los Angeles. Inspired by creative, gutsy female journalists such as Dorothy Dix and Agness Underwood, who worked the papers in a time when it was considered outlandish for a dame to do so, Newsraven takes the audience on a riveting ride through neo-noir Hollywood & Downtown LA. With a bucket load of sass and courage, Audrey Corbeau delves behind the 1930's facade of Hollywood's tinsel town glitz to unravel crimes of deceit, violence and passion, utilizing an unique network of women and people of diversity usually ignored by the cops. Smarter than the average male 'Newshawk' in the bullpen of the news rags of the day, our tough heroine brings her instinct into play while working to crack who's the perp', and hit the deadline to expose the hottest crime story of the day. Everyone has a secret in this town, even our gal Audrey.—K Borger
