Jake is struggling to make his Canadian paycheck meet his US alimony payments. Bill - the station manager - gives him the recently vacated 6 o'clock news anchor spot... but Jake soon discovers that it's not that simple. He has to audition for it against several of his co-workers, including the recently hired receptionist who moon-lights as a lap-dancer.
Bill wonders about his own life when he learns his brother has won the Order of Canada... while living in L.A.
As the winter blues start to take effect, everyone starts to look for help.
It's time for Jake to renegotiate his contract, so his agent comes to Calgary.
