Fictionalized account of Julius Reuter, who founded the global news agency that bears his name. Initially, he used carrier pigeons to transmit information between Aachen and Brussels, but this ceased with the construction of telegraph lines. Reuter then moved to London, sensing an opportunity to create a news service, a concept that didn't exist at the time. He gained recognition by delivering Emperor Napoleon III's speech quickly, establishing his agency. Despite facing stiff competition, Reuter continuously strived to be the first to report news, including being the first to report Lincoln's assassination, which led to scrutiny of his reputation.
