The plot involves a group of young people who run an uncensored public-access television cable TV.[2] They are ejected from their show when the station is purchased by a televangelist, who considers their show pornographic. In response, the performers hijack the station and begin broadcasting a 24-hour all nude show in order to gain sympathy for their cause.
It received 4 stars from Charles Tatum on efilmcritic.com.[3]
Director Jonathan Blank is the son of Marion Blank.[4]
