Synopsis
When the police flub the capture of a gang of robbers and it is caught on camera. Consequently, the public's confidence in the police department drops to an all-time low. To transform the image of the force, PR director Katya proposes creating a reality show around a mission to apprehend the gang. However, the special police force effort fails and Katya decides to manipulate the footage to make it seem like a victory. When the leader of the gang sees the faked news on television, he broadcasts the real events via a Web cam. This is the beginning of the real war.
