About “In the Ring”

In the year 2007, Ashley McClernon, famous reality TV pop rock star, is the prize in a breakfast cereal sweepstakes. One lucky customer will have a grand catered dinner at a luxury hotel exclusively with the rock star all alone. However, the winner of the grand prize is no fan of McClernon. What results is an hour-long verbal boxing match with a lot of twists turns and one very delicious smelling bar of soap!
