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.
