Plot Synopsis

In each half-hour episode of FREELOADERS, Austin's most frugal and resourceful characters hit the pavement in hopes of turning discarded trash into cold hard cash. The series follows these creative curbside enthusiasts as they search for tossed treasure, transform it, and then sell it for a profit. Inventory is everywhere in this Texas town, but finding the right stuff -- and claiming it -- isn't always easy. These creative artists scour the curbs during Bulk Trash, collecting items to transform into one-of-a-kind creations for the weekend's flea market. The creative duet of Jessie and Kasey end up with a truckload of potential, but it's the nearly flawless 1970s console TV that gives them the idea of repurposing it into an amazing bookshelf. In her literal pile of collected rubbish, the artistically ambitious Misty sees a massive hutch, which would be her largest creation ever. But by mid-week, with the deadline looming, Misty realizes she's bitten off more that she can chew and has to call in the reserves. Laid-back cruisers Johnny and Robert have a different approach. After a late start on collection day, the dawdling twosome stumble across discarded whiskey decanters and a "bulb goes on," but they'll need more than just luck if their vision will ever see the light of day. On Saturday, December 19, 2015 at 1pm ET/PT, GAC premiered the pilot episode of FREELOADERS, but the cable channel had no other episodes on its schedule at that time.
