Beschreibung

Fernsehproduzentin Katie Wendelson müht sich redlich, die Themen ihres Nachrichten-Magazins "The Breakdown" in einem kleinen Kabel-TV-Sender in New Jersey mit dem nötigen Ernst anzupacken. Allerdings wird die angestrebte Seriösität durch Katies chaotische Reportertruppe immer wieder torpediert, und auch ihre Vorgesetzten werfen der aufstrebenden Produzentin gerne Knüppel zwischen die Beine. Zur größten Herausforderung wird für Katie allerdings ihre Mutter Carol. Eigentlich verstehen sich die beiden recht gut, doch als ausgerechnet Carol den Zuschlag für ein Praktikum in Katies Sender bekommt, wird das Mutter-Tochter-Verhältnis immer wieder auf die Probe gestellt. Durch die Anwesenheit ihrer Mutter lernt Katie jedoch auch, sich im Sender nicht ständig unterbuttern zu lassen.
