His firsthand account in the next days paper makes him a hero and a celebrity. And that's not all. The sources next tip delivers a second headline-grabber of a story for Chris, and suddenly his career is looking a lot more like his dad's.

What seemed like a reporter's dream quickly becomes an inescapable nightmare.
