Plot summary
Stephen Kocis runs Cobra Video out of an ordinary suburban house, and in 2006 he takes on a seventeen-year-old performer, Sean Paul Lockhart. Sean tells his mother he is interning at a film company and tells Stephen he is eighteen; he picks the stage name Brent Corrigan, and after a first video he stays on to film more, which find a wide audience. Joe Kerekes and his partner Harlow Cuadra run a competing site, Viper Boyz, and their lavish spending has left them in debt. Joe is possessive of Harlow, who grows angry at Brent's popularity. Stephen houses Brent and pays him little while the videos earn far more.
