A new TV network, True TV, broadcasts the unedited life of an Average Joe or Jane, chosen for a month-long experiment. The chosen subject, Ed Pekurny, is a 31-year-old Texan with a potential trainwreck life, including a dead-end job and lack of ambition. Despite a slow start, Ed becomes a TV sensation, but the cameras' presence creates issues for those involved, including Ed's past reemerging and his brother's relationship drama.
