Ronnie Appleyard hosts a TV panel discussion show. Push-button sincerity is his stock in trade, and his ambition is "fame and money with a giant's helping of sex thrown in."

Then he meets Simon, a strange and moody girl. He fears getting serious, then discovers her family has money. Renewing the pursuit, he wonders about his motives. Surely it's Simon's money he's after, but there is something about this erratic girl that threatens his cynicism.

"At the center is a relationship which, in its struggle to survive, illuminates the precarious role of honesty in a success-addicted age." (Publisher's Source)
