A young reality television producer pushed by her unscrupulous boss to swallow her integrity and do anything it takes to drum up salacious show content. A producer works to manipulate relationships on a dating show in order to film outrageous footage.
UnReal is darker than a locked box inside a lightproof cube sitting on the bottom of the ocean at midnight. It is an ice cream sundae laced with ipecac, delectable and poisonous all at once.
