A satirical television series about a man named Paul Moth who hosts "Town Beat!", a magazine style show on civic affairs and culture produced at Cable 62, the community channel in the fictional town of Burgton, a medium sized, middle Canadian municipality known for its once great arts college and its extra maximum security prison. Paul Moth is urbane, witty and opinionated through personable and diplomatic as befitting a host. Paul is "hip but humbled", a bruised veteran of a checkered career in the entertainment industry that bottomed out in substance abuse and trouble with the law. Paul's rocky road to recovery (recounted in his published memoir of the same name) has been paved with market media jobs, "Town Beat!" being the latest.
