Synopsis

P.R. stars Diane Flacks, Ellie Harvie, and Fiona Reid, as high-profile public relations representatives in this behind-the-scenes look at the industry people love to hate. Alex Reed (Diane Flacks) is a fast-talker, liar, partier, and owner of Alexandra Reed & Associates, an up-and-coming metropolitan public relations firm. She and her partner (Ellie Harvie) create news and hype events to publicize an elite list of actors and celebrities. As their careers spin out of control, their personal lives do, as well, leading to many quirky misadventures.
