Synopsis:

Prentiss McCabe are the piranhas of the murky celebrity pond, chewing up reality show rejects and taking chunks out of newspaper editors - all in the name of PR.

The PR agency run by Charles, the flamboyant puppet-master and Martin, the old school cynic are second to none in the dark art of repackaging black as white. When every celebrity and MP's indiscretion is a front page exclusive there's no shortage of business. And, if gullible hacks want to grasp every carefully proffered fabrication, well the agency is only too willing to help.

Country Life
The Real Country Union and Gareth Hunt tests Charles' belief that he can spin the unspinnable...
