Ray on the Water is a slice of the American gothic meets Reality TV, set in a small New England town. A young, unscrupulous producer stumbles across four workers who run the small town newspaper distribution company, and decides to turn their lives into TV. As she and her crew manipulate the workers, she decides that the real juicy story lies with the tough-as-nails matriarch of the business. What ensues is a cat and mouse game between small town and big city celebrity culture.
