If you snooze, you lose... In the summer of 1987, Robert MacKenzie arrives at TeleShop USA's Oklahoma City studio. He doesn't know it, but this moment will change his life-forever. Broke, desperate and alone, he's a twenty-five-year-old high school dropout. His only goal: to secure a position as TeleShop's newest show host. Robert's a decade past school and his careers haven't been fountains of success. The one constant in his life is the incessant spiel of Dealmaker Dave. The show host's voice sounds from the television in every motel and furnished room he's stayed. No matter how alone, no matter where situated, TeleShop and the Dealmaker are always there.
The products don't matter. TV shopping has raised the selling of tchotchkes to high art. Without a background in broadcasting or sales, Robert hurls himself into the interview. After all, compared to working graveyard as a security guard, how much worse can life get? That's a good question. Yasmine Dubai, TeleShop's beautiful Director of Talent conducts his pre-interview tour. She's a Wharton MBA and way out of his league. Robert is smitten the moment they meet. Dealmaker Dave Leonard is the network's top host. He barrels about like a bull in a china shop. Can Robert hang onto his coattails long enough to learn his trade? The Dragon Lady is TeleShop's other top host. She takes one look at Robert and knows he's a threat. She must stop him-at all costs, Laid bare are the whys and wherefores of home shopping's early days. The hustle, the bustle, the lies and even the (odd) truth. Who finds love? Who lives? Who dies? Pick up the phone and call now...
