Summary
An ambitious small-town woman obsessed with becoming a television star marries a kind but unambitious man, only to decide that he is an obstacle to her dreams. She seduces a trio of disaffected teenagers and manipulates them into helping her eliminate the problem, all while cultivating her on-camera image. Told in mockumentary style through interviews and confessions, the film satirizes America's hunger for fame and media celebrity.
