Newspaper columnist Andy Kramer is laid off when a corporate takeover downsizes the City Chronicle. In retaliation, Andy fabricates a letter to his column from an imaginary homeless woman named “Jane Doe” who announces she will kill herself on the 4th of July because of the heartless state of the world. When the letter goes viral, Andy is forced to hire a Black homeless woman to stand-in as the fictitious Jane Doe. A national women's movement is ignited. A funny, riveting and fast-moving tale on the ethics of American journalism, homelessness, racism, female equality, the worship of celebrity and the need to tell your own story.
