Todd Mason’s mother Alicia decided it was time to check out online dating - but she was nowhere near as savvy as her son about computers and the internet. Instead of a genuine online dating site, she stumbled onto the back end of a ‘meat-market’ site where truly desperate women exposed themselves to men via webcam looking for sex. Coincidentally, it was one that Todd and his friends - notably Nick Wallace - were surfing! Nick decided to take things to the wall, getting Todd to agree to let him press until Alicia backed down. Todd didn’t like it, but crossing Nick wasn’t smart, as Nick could be fiendish about extracting his revenge. Besides, surely his mother wouldn’t let things go too far. But Nick was a silver-tongued devil and Alicia was desperate. It was the first of a series of events that would involve ALL of Todd’s and Nick’s friends - and several relatives.
