Storia
Alice Klieg, diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, wins $83 million in the Mega Millions lottery. She quits her medication and decides to use her winnings to produce her own TV talk show as a means of expressing herself and connecting with others. Alice travels to Los Angeles and convinces two struggling TV producers to help her create her show. Throughout production, her erratic behavior due to her disorder causes chaos on set, leading to a controversial first episode where she discusses her sexual experiences instead of announcing her lottery win. Despite the negative reception, Alice remains determined to continue producing her show.
