Reclaim Your Brain

TV producer Rainer has it all: big salary, luxurious penthouse, high life, hot car, even hotter girlfriend. The 30-something go-getter has reached the top by creating TV shows of the most stupid and vulgar kind.

After this near-death experience, Rainer has a major change of heart and decides to produce a thought-provoking news show for his station′s prime-time lineup. Devastated by the show′s poor ratings, Rainer quits his job and embarks on an investigation of the audience measurement system that keeps intelligence-insulting programs at Number One.
