A popular radio personality has become a TV treasure, thanks to her on-air charisma and down-to-earth advice. Along the way, fans have loved her stories of “my son the genius,” a never-seen character who has become a trademark part of her show’s identity. At home, however, the reclusive son is actually a bitter critic of his mother’s exploitation. What happens when convincing the son to appear on air becomes the key to keeping her top place in daytime TV?
This family drama uses the background of media celebrity to explore one uniquely modern path to success. It paints both a critical and a sympathetic portrait of a bright, ambitious woman whose talents and desire for validation lead her down that path. Her husband and son grapple with their own need for privacy in a world where everyone connected with a celebrity is fair game for public consumption. |
