Il canale via cavo "True TV" è in grave crisi negli indici d'ascolto. Nel disperato tentativo di riprendere quota e di salvare la propria carriera, la direttrice Cinthya Topping ha un'idea del tutto rivoluzionaria: trasmettere la vita di una persona qualsiasi in diretta per 24 ore al giorno. L'idea viene approvata. Un giorno nel bar di Los Angeles dove i responsabili stanno facendo dei provini ai clienti, si trova anche Ed, 30 anni, impiegato in un negozio di videocassette. Spinto dal fratello Ray, Ed si fa avanti, si presenta, parla, dialoga con l'obiettivo e, alla fine, viene scelto. Da quel momento due telecamere lo seguono in ogni attimo della giornata. La cosa sembra all'inizio divertente, ma poi la situazione si complica...
