Résumé :

Mark Goodenough's just made the biggest blunder in New Zealand sports broadcasting history. He's been fired from his job in radio and humiliated on air. His girlfriend has dumped him for his ex-best friend, and he's about to go viral in the worst possible way.

Amongst the framing, hacking, intrigue, sabotage, a cyclone, and a Christmas parade, Mark finds himself in the thick of it. He and the team battle to save access radio.
