As the presenter of tabloid news show 'Probe', Bob Smith stoops to new lows to expose stories at any cost. When covering the lives of three high-flying women vying for the 'Woman of Distinction' award in broadcasting, he hopes to break through the glossy facade and reveal secrets all three women strive to keep hidden...even if that means inventing a few secrets himself.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was director Misti Barnes's only feature film; she pivoted to television directing for shows like 'CSI: Miami' and 'Criminal Minds'.
Released in 2003, the film satirizes pre-social media tabloid culture that would soon be democratized by blogs and Twitter—making Bob Smith's professional gatekeeping almost quaint by comparison.
