Basket-case network news producer Jane Craig falls for new reporter Tom Grunnick, a pretty boy who 
represents the trend towards entertainment news she despises. Aaron Altman, a talented but plain 
correspondent, carries an unrequited torch for Jane. Sparks fly between the three as the network 
prepares for big changes, and both the news and Jane must decide between style and substance.
