Talented young television producer Jake Silver comes to Miami to visit his grandmother Claire under the guise of a job interview to produce the country's lowest-rated morning show at a local TV station, but he ends up taking the job he never sought after meeting the show's captivating hairstylist, Dylan Messinger. As Jake attempts to transform the show into a winner, he inherits an eclectic ensemble of employees, including an arrogant host, Gavin Stone; a self-centered co-host, Lucia Rojas-Klein; a highly insecure station manager, Frank Alfano, and his lazy and neurotic assistant, Penny; and a volatile nun, Sister Brenda, the show's weather reporter.
When Jake sets out to establish his authority as the new producer and impress Dylan in the process, his plan backfires, isolating the entire staff against him and leaving his two co-hosts Gavin and Lucia unwilling to come out of their dressing rooms just before they're ready to go on-air. Meanwhile, Frank promises to deliver on a new set for the show but can't come through, even though the old set was already taken away.
Jake agrees to let Dylan fix him up with her best friend Cindy only because he secretly wants to be able to spend more time around Dylan. But when Jake and Cindy agree to join Dylan and Gavin for a romantic weekend, Jake calls on Claire for advice. Meanwhile, Frank and Lucia enlist the help of Penny and Sister Brenda when they have to create a public service announcement for the station.
