Nick Watson (Jonathan C. Legat) is the host of Reality, a talk show on Norwalk University’s WSKO radio station in northern New Hampshire. Just as he’s closing down the show on the very last episode of his college radio career, he receives a disturbing on air phone call from avid listener Alyssa (Leslie Strong) who informs him that Michelle Fullmer (Stephanie Wyatt), Nick’s fiance, his wife in nineteen days in fact, is cheating on him with none other than Richie Fontaine (Nick Mikula), Norwalk’s Dust Devils’ star quarterback. This news is compounded by the freak blizzard that rages outside, dumping a very healthy amount of snow on the greater Norwalk area, keeping other hosts out of the studio, and stranding Nick inside with co-host Andy Wolcienski (Eric Lipe), producer Hannah Lorenz (Michelle Higgins), and a great deal of anguish and fury. It’s up to Nick to be the better person, but it seems he doesn’t have anything nice to say about his darling ex-fiancee.
