Synopsis:

The Rag, an English tabloid, has been seething with intrigue ever since the editor-in-chief, Eddy, started an affair with his assistant Mary, who also happens to be married to Richard Morton, president of the media group that owns the paper. When she finds out that an editorial change is in the offing, Mary decides to make a bid for the editor's job. She dumps Eddy and persuades her husband to give her the promotion. Refusing to give up his post, Eddy goes on the offensive, with help from photographer Morph, master of the revealing snap. They work out a plan to concoct a scandal to harm Morton's reputation and thus keep Eddy's job.

Rag Tale is a contemporary urban satire set during a week in the life International of a tabloid newspaper. Its tyrannical tycoon chairman and clever but desperate editor (who is also sleeping with the chairman's wife) battle for political supremacy in the boardroom, using staff-journalists as pawns in the power-games they play out on the front pages of the press. Set against the backdrop of the U.S. election and the current celebrity culture, Rag Tale gives a witty, behind the scenes look at tabloids and a peek at the darker side of cut throat journalism.

A romance that plays out in the splashy, sensational world of British tabloids.
