Middle Men

Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
Wayne Beering and Buck Dolby are drugged-out geniuses with lots of ideas but they can never seem to get their act together. But when they come up with the idea to create a porn site--and charge for it (the first-ever site to do so), their idea may be too lucrative for them to handle. Straight-laced business man Jack Harris is brought in to team up with them and turn their profitable idea into a legit business. Making money in the pornography industry is pretty easy, but staying true to yourself when surrounded by that much wealth, luxury, sex, crime, and temptation is much harder.
