The film focuses on television reporter Lanie Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie) and her quest to find meaning in her life.

Lanie Kerrigan, a successful reporter for a Seattle television station, interviews a self-proclaimed prophet, Jack, to find out if he really can predict football scores.

In her desperation, she commits professional blunders but ends up finding support in an unlikely source: her archenemy, the cameraman Pete Scanlon, with whom she once had casual sex.

Lanie realizes how petty the opening questions are and shares a heartfelt moment with Deborah live on air.

The network immediately offers her a position, but Lanie declines, realizing she wants a life with Pete in Seattle.

The majority of the movie was shot on location in Seattle, Washington, although portions were also filmed in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia.
