Summaries

Chronicles Jack Harris, one of the pioneers of Internet commerce, as he wrestles with his morals and struggles not to drown in a sea of con men, mobsters, drug addicts, and porn stars.

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.—napierslogs

Then he met Wayne Beering (Giovanni Ribisi) and Buck Dolby (Gabriel Macht), two genius but troubled men, who had invented the way adult entertainment is sold over the internet. When Jack agrees to help steer their business, he soon finds himself caught between a 23 year-old porn star and the FBI all the while becoming one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs of his time.
