Description: Caesar Fortunato invented the instant replay. This fictional character also created the blimp shot, the aerial shot, the helmet cam and just about every other innovation in the history of sports broadcasting. The man was a genius, a true visionary who helped make the medium of television what it is today. Unfortunately, Caesar's just as arrogant as he is good at what he does. He's also bored. He's done it all -- Superbowls, NBA championship games, Wimbledon -- and made the boring games look great and the great games look like miracles. But sports has become a business that's more about the bottom line than competitive glory and it's hard to make a business look like art.

Burned-out, Caesar does finally make a mistake, though, and all the little people he's screamed at and all the suits he's snubbed finally get their revenge. Caesar finds himself on the street and unemployable. Used to the high life, Caesar unravels in the most self-destructive fashion possible and just when all seems lost he gets one more chance to make art out of chaos, with one last redemptive worldwide broadcast for the Vatican. It's live, it's impossible, and he pulls it off.

A peek behind the scenes of the pressure-filled broadcast media that's also an incomparable story of one man's rise, fall, and redemption -- a story that will touch everyone who's ever been frustrated by the stifling conformity of today's workaday world.
