Recession Whores is a comedy series about two friends who lose their jobs due to the bad economy.  Broke and desperate, the two friends do the only logical thing they can come up with: become gigolos through the Internet!  Being a gigolo isn’t the dream job they had imagined as things go from bad to worse in a series of rendezvous ranging from “naughty” fantasies to the downright bizarre.
