Pierre Peders (Buscemi) is a tough political correspondent infuriated by his editor's insistence he cover a tabloid-level story about the paparazzi favorite Katya (Miller). Pierre's chagrin increases given the news of a searing White House scandal that is just breaking; instead of covering the piece, Peders must visit a posh Manhattan restaurant and interview Katya, whom he instantly detests. The one-on-one is more of a disaster than either could have predicted, but by some strange twist of fate, Pierre is injured and brought back to Katya's loft. Once there, liquor is downed, cocaine is consumed, minor violence erupts, and the two begin to "dance a pas de deux" — attempting, not so subtly, to outmaneuver one another psychologically, as dark secrets and long-hidden vulnerabilities emerge.

État des lieux sans concession du système médiatique américain par des journalistes de renom, des professeurs d'université, un membre du Congrès, l'ancien procureur de Los Angeles, Michael Moore, des producteurs de TV et d'autres intervenants directement concernés. Un immanquable pour qui veut toucher du doigt l'état de dépendance des médias au pouvoir.
