The Paper City
A city follows anonymous posters into a new accusation before anyone checks the truth.
A city wakes to anonymous posters that appear to solve a disappearance. They are placed on bus shelters, closed storefronts, street poles and apartment doors, each one carrying a fragment that feels useful.
Concept frame 01
Posters, stickers and notices turn a city into a detective before anyone checks the evidence.
The person behind the posters lost someone after an online crowd falsely accused an innocent person. Now the city is being tested with the same mechanism: fragments, certainty, outrage and the thrill of feeling helpful.
The mystery should be solvable, but not comfortable. The real suspense is whether the reporter can stop the city from manufacturing guilt before the next person is destroyed by public conviction.
