520			_aProtagonist: Jeannie Sterling, a late‑night radio host in New York City. She runs a show called Sterling Behavior from midnight to 4 a.m., where she vents her frustrations about all the little annoyances of modern city life — rude people, bad manners, annoying technology, etc. Jeannie is idealistic, raised in California by free‑spirited parents, committed to activism, and believes in making a difference, even in small ways Jeannie is very successful in her career but feels her personal life is out of sync. She’s single, things are stable in public but shifting behind the scenes. Her father unexpectedly moves back in/start interacting in her life, bringing up issues with her past and her expectations. Also, a college crush reappears, complicating her feelings and emotional life. Then, the radio station she works at is bought by Nicholas Moss, a media mogul. Jeannie previously has strong opinions about him (calls him a "turkey" and a "pig") after a run‑in with him, but now he becomes her boss. This shifts the power dynamics, career pressures, and forces Jeannie to question what she stands for. Jeannie struggles with balancing her career ambitions (and the demands for higher ratings) with her personal ethics, friendships (especially with her best friend Luce), and family relationships. Luce has her own secrets that strain their bond. Things come to a head when Jeannie does something extreme on air in the quest for ratings or authenticity, and it almost backfires severely. The consequences force her to reevaluate what she values, what she’s willing to risk, and what she really wants in life.
