Description

Larry Logan is a small-time TV star with a mile-wide ego. Gutted when his latest show is axed, he's less than impressed when the only work he can get is fronting a fake game show actually an undercover police sting to entrap criminals.

His reluctance evaporates when the show rockets his career back to prime time stardom. And when lovely, shy Stephanie enters his life he thinks he finally has it made.

But Larry doesn't know how dangerous those criminals are. He shafted some dangerous men - and they want revenge.
