A fictional and comedic look into the behind-the-scenes of a highly controversial talk show which explores the human drama of the guests of a particular episode as they grapple with their complicated lives and foibles. Incest, adultery and love triangles may be taboo to some; but its all in a day's work for the producers of The Jerry Show. The film delves into the lives of the guests who, for their chance at fame in Hollywood, come onto the show and reveal their darkest secrets to the world. "Ringmaster" takes you down a twisted road and into the twisted lives of the guests of one particular show, where we find out who these people are, why they come to the show. how they get there, and, and why they are willing to do do this. It reveals what audiences have wanted to know about a man who stands in the middle as referee...Jerry. For the first time, audiences will have the chance to find out who Jerry really is, what he goes through and why HE is willing to do it.
