Opis

Nathan and Dustin are two boys who live in Las Vegas. They meet Sam and Harrison on the Internet. Since it is summer vacation and the boys all share a common interest in posting videos to a popular video sharing website, Sam and Harrison fly to Las Vegas to join forces with Nathan and Dustin so they can create some ass-kicking videos.

The boys wish to emulate their hero Price Dansen, a popular, high-profile, sensational pseudo-journalist who is the star of their favorite show: "To Bust a Pervert." They dream of fame and strive to create exciting videos that attract the attention of the online audience. A relatively unknown serious journalist by the name of Riley Jaeger arrives in Las Vegas to cover a big news event involving a confrontation between pet enthusiasts and child safety advocates. When Riley hears that Price Dansen is in town he sets out to expose Price as a fraud.

Could the boys' hero really be a fraud? Will the boys achieve online video fame while maintaining their integrity? Or will they devolve into Price Dansen clones eager to do anything to gain public attention?
