Carson is a tired and lonely young man barely getting through the days in New York City. When a park vendor gives him a mysterious vial of "Monkey Juice" one afternoon, Carson goes on an adventure that changes him and his life forever.

This short documentary is a portrait of a tiny town, Lakefield, Ontario, and its independent weekly, the Herald. Across North America, newspapers are dying, but in Lakefield, Terry McQuitty, the town paper’s publisher, carries on a rich, 150-year-old tradition. Set to the pace of small-town life, Unheralded is a testament to the vital role newspapers can still play, and the close bond between reporter and reader.
