A rude, contemptuous talk show host becomes overwhelmed by the hatred that surrounds his program just before it goes national.

An acerbic radio talk show host based in Dallas starts what could be an important few days when he discovers that his controversial late night show is about to be "picked up" by a nationwide network of radio stations. However, all is not perfect for him, because on top of troubles with his love life and fears that the management of the network will try to alter the content of his show he has to cope with a neo-nazi group who have been angered by his forthright opinions.—Mark Thompson <[email protected]>
