Created by Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin (creator of "The Riches"), the timely HBO show uses dark humor to tell the story of a man fighting to survive personal setbacks that have been compounded by a troubled economy.
A former high school sports legend turned middle-aged high school basketball coach, Ray Drecker is a divorced dad struggling to provide for his kids. Because desperate times call for desperate measures, the well-endowed Ray decides to exploit his best asset in a last-ditch attempt to change his fortunes.
