DESCRIPTION

Synopsis

A frank story about a mother and her...colourful son. It's bad enough for a mother to discover that her son is a porn star, worse when the nosy neighbours are the first to know. When Lynn sees her son in an adult film, she is forced to ask many difficult questions. How well does she know her son? Where does he get his obvious talent? And how will she tell his father? There are just some things a mother should never know.
