If success breeds contempt and adversity builds character, the life of Hunter Riley should be a springboard of inspiration to everyone treading water in the shallow end of the talent pool.
Hunter has been working his way down the ladder of success from nightly news anchor in the country's largest television market until he finds himself running the pathetic small town newsroom at KDOA–TV in Bakersfield, California. When the station's owner threatens to cancel the newscast and fire the staff, Hunter hires a topless dancer named Sugar Kane to anchor the news and manufactures a heart–wrenching crusade to save an old folks home. It's a desperate attempt to ride sex appeal and a made–for–TV crisis to take KDOA from ratings doormat to number one.
The result is a hilarious clash of ambitions in the world of TV news where perception is reality, and reality just gets in the way of a good story. How far will Hunter stretch his personal and professional ethics to save the news? The answer will keep you laughing until the final credits roll.
Stay tuned.
