Eric Bogosian stars as Barry Champlain, a late-night shock-jock who is on the verge of having his show picked up for national syndication. But he's having problems with his ex-wife, Ellen (Ellen Greene); the station manager, Dan (Alec Baldwin, is trying to water down the content of his show; and last, if not least, a neo-Nazi group is making threats on his life. And on a night when his abrasiveness is at its peak, anything could happen.
