The movie follows the lives of three residents of the fictional town of Magguson, all of whom work at the town's newspaper The Daily Suggester. While at first the interactions between the three people appear to show a superficial working relationship between them, as the movie progresses the viewer learns that there is a deeper relationship between them all and that all of them have hidden secrets.
