A provocative indie comedy that uses a couple's unconventional crowdfunding scheme to explore the ethics of commodifying intimacy and the compromises required to achieve dreams.

A young man challenges the web to offer money for a sex tape of him and his girlfriend to finance his work and finally be able to afford having a child. Is it really wrong to sell our own intimacy in order to be able to afford making our dreams come true?
