Overview
For TV producer Laura Wellesley, the morning show at FGN Asia means going to bed before dark and swallowing the first rule of broadcast news: the anchor is always right, especially when it's American-born Chinese egomaniac Deng Jiang Mao. As the 1997 handover boom fizzles into the Asian economic bust, her marriage and career tumble into a maze of betrayal, high finance, hot tubs, and cheap lingerie. The backstage secrets of television news!
