Media literacy educator Jillian Dawson thinks the mind-numbing influence that mass media spreads through our culture, along with the motives and methods behind it, makes us all marks in the biggest and most multi-faceted con game the planet can possibly experience. But as she tries to create a curriculum guide that will keep students from falling prey to the dangers of the electronic jungle, her husband is targeted by another kind of scam that floats into his inbox and threatens to drain their retirement savings. Can she keep him, and by extension herself, from becoming losers in a game that's been devised by a tech-savvy person who at a younger age might have been one of her favorite students? Can the beliefs on which she's built her life survive the emotional maelstrom she experiences? The answers to these questions come in the telling of a story that Jillian hopes will be appealing enough to be heard above the cacophony of voices that are trying to anaesthetize our critical judgment by amusing us to death.
