Stephen Ridges is stuck in a cheap hotel trying to save his career. He's a writer on a TV show and he's about to be fired. And his wife has just phoned to tell him not to bother coming home unless he can turn it all around. He has 12 hours.

He's working on Jelly House (a scripted reality programme involving kids parties) and he hates it. But he needs the money. As he writes for his life he struggles to come to terms with exploiting real people's lives for entertainment. We listen in on meetings where talk of 'spiking' the jelly and planting unseen fathers are excitedly agreed in a world where crazed media people will do anything in an attempt to entertain.
