A high-energy political comedy that blends satirical humor with action-thriller elements, centered on two tabloid personalities caught between celebrity culture and international espionage.

Dave Skylark and his producer Aaron Rapaport run the celebrity tabloid show "Skylark Tonight". When they land an interview with a surprise fan, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, they are recruited by the CIA to turn their trip to Pyongyang into an assassination mission.
