Amy, a foreign Caucasian woman who was transferred to a new department, feels alienated among Asians coworkers whom she cannot even communicate with. One day, a broadcast called ¡®Today¡¯s News¡¯ trickles out from a strange pipeline. The news mercilessly discloses the homosexual affair between the boss and a coworker and the love triangle created by a stalker. Amy, who feels pleasure from listening to the broadcast in her dull and alienated life, increasingly becomes obsessed with the scandals; and by spreading ¡®Today¡¯s News¡¯ to her coworkers, she starts to feel a solidarity with her coworkers.
