Based on the real adventures of two young Michigan friends starting a hometown newspaper, The Paper is a coming-of-age tale with a supernatural twist. The story follows Jimmy Logan, a 12-year-old boy navigating the complexities of adolescence in a small town during the late '80s. As he grapples with personal growth, family dynamics, and evolving friendships, Jimmy embarks on creating a small newspaper with his friend, Dale Dunkle. Through their journalistic venture, encounters with bullies, a mysterious abandoned house, and internal conflicts within their circle of friends, Jimmy confronts horror, loyalty, puberty, and the impact of choices on one's future.
