The Ratings Game

In a bizarre game of ratings manipulation, Vic DeSalvo, a struggling New Jersey trucker, teams up with his girlfriend Francine, a statistician at a ratings agency, to create a hit TV show that bypasses traditional viewership metrics and artificially inflates the numbers. Their scheme pays off when Vic is voted the best new actor at a grand awards ceremony, but their success is short-lived as they soon find themselves entangled in a web of deception and arrested by the police. In the end, it's love that sets them free - literally - as they get married in jail.
