Jeffrey Humphrey, a reporter at a local news station covering eastern Washington and northern Idaho is waiting outside

an office building with a camera crew. Working in local news often means covering puff pieces,

like a farmer who grew a big pumpkin or a dog that can bark the national anthem. But today,

Jeff is trying to get an interview

with the subject of an investigative report

that could be explosive.

His report is about a woman named Rachel Dolajjol.

She's a professor, a chair of a police oversight commission in Spokane,

and the previous year, 2014, she was elected head of

the local N-A-C-P chapter. She's a classic big fish in a small town and the face of the local

Black Lives Matter movement. But Jeffreys unearthed something, well, fishy.

His report started as an investigation into hate crimes reported by Rachel, obviously no laughing matter.

But he's come across some facts that just don't pass the smell test.

He's starting to suspect that this big fish has been telling some tall tales.

In fact, they suspect that Rachel may be lying about a crucial part of her backstory,

her race.

Jeffrey spots Rachel coming out of the building and he and the camera crew start moving.
