Successful TV political commentator Arthur Vandameer— host of WNIN's Speaking Truth to Power— is rich, famous… and miserable. He has risen to the top of the city's glittering media heap only to find nothing. His teenage daughter— privileged, glamorous Allison— is blonde, beautiful, and wants nothing more than to go to film school. Her boyfriend, Joselito Diaz (aka Goonie), is special to her only because she knows her father cannot stand him.

When the lovely Allison disappears, a madcap cast of characters gets into the act, stirring a citywide web of intrigue, insanity, political values and personal agendas. Their search takes them from The Plaza, to Queens, to Herald Square, to Tiffany' s, a few bars, a few bedrooms, Bergdorf Goodman, and back— culminating on live television in front of all of America.
