Why this must be read:

An *NSYNC/ Sports Night crossover? Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? And it totally shouldn't work, should it? Yet for some strange reason it does.

Chris Kirkpatrick is feeling somewhat lost. The other guys in the group are starting to move on to new things and he's not sure where his post *NSYNC life will take him. A guest spot on a sports show gives him the opportunity to try his hand at football commentary, but when that doesn't pan out, he's given another chance in the form of Natalie Hurley who puts him in touch with Dan Rydell, former Sports Night anchor and now the host of a radio sports show.

Dan himself has been feeling a little lost since Sports Night ended and Casey moved to Chicago. But he's getting on with life and doing what he needs to do and when he meets Chris a tentative bond is formed.

The New Alternative is very much a tale of a man finding himself again after the most important thing in his life has started to fade. Through out it you watch Chris interact with his former band mates, recognising that they're all moving on and trying not to cling too much to the past. But at the same time he's not content to be yet another boy band has-been. He wants to make it on his own, and with a little help from Dan, it might just work out after all.
