Description
Natalie Savage, who grew up hearing her dad rave about this guy Walter Cronkite and even named the family dog after him, is suddenly finding her efforts rewarded when she is assigned to cover the White House for ATN. Her life has been spent missing out on life's milestones, so now that she's up against a 26-year-old privileged frat guy who got his big break on television by eating raw animal parts on a reality program, he'll definitely come out on top—especially since ratings battles, sexual harassment at work, and a worldwide political catastrophe are all part of the job.
