Plot summary
Butterface Fields knows Andy Sargentee as its favorite failure: an unemployed dreamer whose ex-wife Thelma married Howard, a wealthy man who has become a father figure to Andy's teenage son Billy. Andy's answer is a plan for the town itself to produce a feature-length adult movie, with the profits shared among the backers. Five regulars at Floyd's Bar each agree to put up two thousand dollars. A young video store employee whose camcorder is always running takes the job of cinematographer, the friend everyone calls Some Idiot offers to write and direct, and Otis signs on as producer. Andy's outline includes every porn cliché he can remember from the movies he has watched. Recruiting performers, women above all, is another problem.
