Suzanne Stone wants to be a world-famous news anchor and she is willing to do anything to get what she wants. What she lacks in intelligence, she makes up for in cold determination and diabolical wiles. As she pursues her goal with relentless focus, she is forced to destroy anything and anyone that may stand in her way, regardless of the ultimate cost or means necessary.

This film feels like a sharp, unsettling gaze into the heart of ambition, wrapped in a darkly comedic and cynical package. It's a propulsive character study, both chilling and absurd, exploring the lengths one will go for the spotlight. The mockumentary style adds a layer of detached observation to its icy, satirical tone.
