Based closely on the multi-faceted and prolific life of Rod Serling, creator (and both head writer and host) of The Twilight Zone, as well as many other programs, Thank You and Good Night spans the rise and fall of a television icon.

Through several award-winning dramas and his popular television show, The Other Side, Emery Asher, a scriptwriter and overnight success, becomes a household name. There is a price in accolades, however. His imagination plays antagonist to his success, and as the world begins slipping through his fingers, Emery Asher becomes a man fighting his own past achievements, with his prone ego and the ever-fickle nature of television watching closely.

Through narrative, script, commercials, and the all-too-surreal transformation of a scriptwriter living both outside and within his own tales, Thank You and Good Night is the story of a little man playing a leading man through the raucous, speculative, and complex world of home-screen celebrity in the early days of television. Spanning four decades, this is a story of celebrity and obscurity, of success and failure, of a man in his machines, through events that could only come from that place where reality and imagination merge.
