A struggling TV news operation in Philadelphia finds itself with a freelance photographer who is selling video of crimes he's committing and a news director who just did jail time for manslaughter, killing his former boss who also just happened to be a news director. The young staff at Channel 7 is concerned, even scared about their new boss. But Bud Remmick insists everything's different now and has his old friend Karen Sikorsky on his side. Two years out of prison, Bud has repaired his damaged marriage to Maggie and spent time serving his rural Pennsylvania community as a volunteer EMT until Karen scooped him up and got the general manager at Channel 7 to hire him.It doesn't take long for Bud to catch on to the scam of the freelancer, Bill Klemmer, whose loyalty to his father blinds blurs the lines between good and evil. When his father instructs him to kill a man, then video the crime scene, the police track him down and pursue him to a Jersey shore motel and a violent encounter.Meanwhile, no less than the politically corrupt Governor of Pennsylvania wants to know why Maggie Remmick, the wife of a convicted felon, is hired as a government official. Maggie’s job performance is top notch but has no bearing on the Governor's pool of patronage flunkies. Bud's old 'anger aura' starts to well up as forces out of their control influence both of their lives. The good and bad that struggle for dominance over Bud collide in a conflagration of life and death events that play-out on live television, shining an uninvited light on the Remmicks. In the end, Bud's search for redemption brings him back to basics, but will it be enough to keep him from going back to jail, this time for good?
