Two shows. Two networks. One time slot. It's a cat fight to the top as both shows compete for that number one spot. Those caught in the crossfire will find their lives turned upside down- for better or for worse.
You have The New York Beat or The Beat for short. It is a daily "news" show that features mainly celebrity gossip and interviews. Its rival, The Village, is a similar show on a completely different network. Going head to head are managing directors David Sullivan of The Beat and Mary "Bloody Mary" Frankfort of The Village. Egos are at stake because whomever is doing the best gets not only a bigger salary, but more bragging rights and respect. They also get the more famous guests, something the studio heads of both shows desperately want.
In the middle of this are the workers. Jenna Carmichael and Natasha Beufaunte host The Beat. They are extremely popular but off screen rivals. Rumors are swirling that the studio wants to strip the show down to one host, making these two very insecure about their jobs.
Hosting The Village are Chris Fisher and Casey Summers. Chris is handsome, arrogant, and a ladies man. He constantly entices rivals Jenna and Natasha, often offering them a night of "sex so amazing, [they'll] leave the Beat and become a janitor at The Village just for another sample of [him]." Natasha and Jenna jointly dislike him, which seems to be the only thing uniting them.
Wardrobe stylist Gabby is Jenna's best friend. She supports Jenna and is often caught in light banter with network rival host Chris Fisher. Casey is neutral and does not involve herself in the behind-the-scenes rivalries. Appearing naive, she ignores the banter and acts as a buffer.
The core of the show is its large cast. Some have secrets that could destroy their reputations while others are just trying to find out who they really are. It is a show about passion, loyalty, betrayal, lies, secrets, lusts, obsession, and so much more.
