Plot Synopsis
Ray Drecker is a former high-school sports legend turned middle-aged high-school basketball coach, and he's a divorced dad in dire straits, struggling to make ends meet and regain control of his life. Because desperate times call for desperate measures, the well-endowed Ray decided to exploit his best asset -- with the help of Tanya Skagle, who became his unlikely pimp. Unfortunately, the recession-plagued suburbs of Detroit even affected history's oldest profession, and Ray and Tanya took on slick "life coach" Lenore Bernard as co-pimp, devastating Tanya in the process. By the end of the second season, Ray considered taking a break from the business -- and pursue a second chance with Jessica -- but Lenore will not be willing to give him up without a fight. In the meantime, at the beginning of the third season Ray and Tanya decide to get financing for their "Wellness Center for Women," an idea posed by Lenore, while Ray competes for clients with a new male hooker, Jason, who is also Lenore's client.
