BOOK OUTLINE:
Jess, Shannon and Oscar are three people brought together because of a
failing TV show.
There's Oscar, one of the stars of the show who's career is in serious
trouble. The Kitchens was his shot at the big time, and now that it's
in danger of being pulled off air he is on a personal mission to save
it.
Jess is a journalist for the city's largest newspaper, who has been
paid off to write a bad review for the show by a producer from a rival
network of The Kitchen's. She gladly accepts the payout and writes a
derogatory review and cover story for the paper's weekly TV lift out.
Oscar, furious, and masquerading as a 'fan' writes in a letter
defending the show. Jess reads it and cottons on to the fact that the
letter must come from someone involved with the show. When she prints
the letter and a sarcastic reply, Oscar gets even angrier and tracks
her down.
Meanwhile, Shannon, a peace loving hippy from across town, is
launching a protest against The Kitchens, trying to get production
shut down because it is causing environmental destruction to the local
beach. Oscar, on his way to filming one morning, runs into Shannon,
who will not let him pass the picket line. Having just read Jess'
latest column, and on the verge of losing it all together, he yells at
her 'What are you two, related??"
Shannon does not know to whom he is referring, but in actual fact –
yes! The two ARE related. Jess and Shannon are sisters, but haven't
really spoken to each other in years, since a falling out over the
Blur Vs Oasis feud.
But now that Brit Pop is dead, and with a maniacal television actor
after the both of them, Shannon and Jess will reunite to fight against
locally produced television drama.
Along the way the three will deal with love, drama, intrigue, ratings
and a never ending stream of inevitable wacky hi-jinks.
