Synopsis

Michael (Hill Harper) is a likable photographer turned security guard who spends his time hanging out with his buddies and keeping up with the latest releases at Pornocopia. His addiction to porn, however, threatens to get in the way of a budding romance with Jasmine (Marlyne Afflack), an upscale marketing researcher who's so wary of ‘playas’ she's declared herself celibate.
