Plot
The movie involves Diane Shepherd (Yasmine Bleeth) who is an idealistic talk-show producer who is conscience-stricken when she clashes with her ratings-obsessed and ruthless talk-show executive boss. Diane is forced to produce a tantalizing program about a prostitute which potentially harms the prostitute, who is trying to turn her life around.
Young Kelly Reilly (Jenny Lewis) is the teenaged mother whose life is exposed on The Howard Grant Show. Kelly desperately wants to lead a normal life, but society is dragging her back down.
