It’s 1977 and business is thriving for adult film director Jack Horner who comes across his new star EddieAdams in a club one night. Eddie is reluctant but sees a bright future as a film star, and with his unique gift he takes off in the industry like a rocket. Under the new alias Dirk Diggler, Eddie finds the misfit family he’s been searching for all his life. Jack is his father figure, leading actress Amber Waves is like his mother, co-stars Reed Rothchild and Rollergirl as well as the behind the scenes crew members Buck, Little Bill, Maurice and Scotty J all become a struggling family of sorts from the late 70’s to the uphill struggle of the 80’s where the industry takes a turn for the worst and each individual must deal with their own pasts and failures.
