In Episode 1 of this ten-part dramatic documentary soap opera, you are shuttled into the excitement via five storylines: you meet the webcam girls at 2Much.net, ambitious porn star Katrina, gay icon Dave Angelo, impresario Dugmor, and his protégé, the stunning Malezia. The action begins at Montreal’s 2Much.net, the brainchild of computer programmer Mark Prince. Prince is now a rich man, thanks to software he invented that allows for live streaming action on the net, the perfect vehicle for his “webcam girls,” who perform live erotic shows on-line, like hi-tech peep shows. At the 2Much.net HQ, office manager Cheli is interviewing a prospective webcam girl, Laurelle. Laurelle has a fresh-faced look that on-line customers might like. But being new to the city and having no experience in porn, she must be put to the test to see if she has what it takes to ignite the on-line fantasies of the 2Much.net customers. Across town, Katrina — a Russian beauty, who at 21, is already a pro in the local porn scene — joins the set of Porn Star Academie. It’s an online reality program in which inexperienced wannabes take a shot at the big time. Katrina has signed on as the show’s mistress of ceremonies, and she tests out competitors intimately. PSA is about to go global, and with her boyfriend Dimitri by her side, Katrina wants to use the show as a launch pad into international stardom. Global recognition is something Dave Angelo already has. He is an exclusive actor and model with Colt, one of the world’s leading gay porn studios. Colt has sent Dave to New York to promote their latest collaboration, but Dave has his own promotional intentions for the trip. With his wife, Manon (Dave can play gay, but at home he is straight), he’s set up a website, daveangeloconnection.com, and wants to get the word out. With their finances and relationship on the line, they begin their quest to make daveangeloconnection.com a success. Dugmor has been there and done that. One of the most notorious players in the global web porn community, this former electrician got into the web porn game early. He has created dozens of thriving sites, catering to every sexual taste. Dugmor has a knack for spotting new talent, and high hopes for his latest discovery. Malezia first approached Dugmor when she was underage. Now, the suburban would-be starlet is finally of legal age, and Dugmor is launching her career with a website. They begin creating the scenes for malezia.com —but they are running out of time. Malezia.com needs to be finished for the Cybernet Expo. Burning the midnight oil to get there, Dugmor knows Malezia might be porn’s next big thing.

We catch up with gay icon Dave Angelo and his wife, Manon, fresh from a heated fight about the content of Dave’s website. The couple have kissed and made up, and now they search for the best location to film the site’s first hard-core scenes. They know of a truck stop restroom off the highway where “gay action” is supposed to go down, but when they check out the location they find it’s not as sexy as they had hoped. Our intrepid web amateurs decide to head to nature instead, shooting steamy scenes in the mosquito-ridden woods off the highway. Back at home, they view their footage and find that shooting web content is not as easy as it seems. Back in the city, new girl Laurelle has landed a job as a webcam hostess at 2Much.net. We meet two new Webdreams characters at 2Much — Deja and Leila, the company’s most in-demand hostesses. They agree to show Laurelle the ropes. Leila tells Laurelle about her own habit of “becoming friends” with on-line clients, something that’s become a problem since 2Much owner Mark Prince met with the morality police squad -- hostesses meeting clients in person could qualify as prostitution. For Leila, it’s a matter of self-respect, though. She says she feels “like a hooker” if she ends her relationships with her clients “the second they stop paying.” Everything comes to a head when Leila agrees to meet with a client who has flown in especially to see her. For Leila and her employers, it’s an explosive case of differing attitudes, and it may mean the end of Leila’s work at 2Much.net. Meanwhile, the Cybernet Expo has begun, and Dugmor is missing his latest find. It’s supposed to be her debut — the launch of malezia.com — but she is AWOL. Dugmor has wrangled some prime appearances for Malezia, and her lateness is costing him. When she finally shows up, Dugmor shuttles her straight into the action. The viewer is taken along for the ride into glamorous Cybernet parties, including the bash for malezia.com, an event crawling with talent scouts from Hollywood. Is there any way these agents can ignore this natural starlet? Katrina feels she is more than ready. We meet her again as she continues her exhaustive search to find likely candidates for the reality show she is hosting, Porn Star Academie. The private auditions last week were a bust, so this week she takes her search public — to annual Salon Erotica sex expo. Katrina’s sex-drenched auditions happen in front of an audience of hundreds. It is an odd time for Katrina’s long-time boyfriend, Dimitri, to invite Katrina’s mother to see her daughter “at work.” Katrina’s mom still thinks Katrina is a fashion model. She is shocked to watch her daughter onstage, engaging in sex acts. When the show is over, Dimitri and Katrina go back to Katrina’s family home to hash it out with her parents. They have a lot to talk about.

In the third installment of Webdreams, chat hostess Leila returns to work at 2Much.net, but not before dropping a bomb on studio manager Cheli. Not only has Leila been dating chatters, causing real problems at 2Much.net, but now she’s calling one of her customers her “boyfriend.” Cheli decides to let it slide, but when Leila returns to the chat room, other issues arise. In love with Stephan, her new American boyfriend, she finds performing sexually for other on-line customers nearly impossible. She says she feels unfaithful doing it and walks off camera twice. Soon, Leila has to choose between Stephan and her career as a webcam girl. Her decision seems made when she climbs aboard a bus to Philadelphia to move in with the man she loves, the former customer she met over a blinking screen of streaming images. Meanwhile, Malezia and Dugmor have landed in L.A. They are there for Malezia’s first professional porn film shoot with industry behemoth Vivid. After a routine trip to the AIDS testing clinic, they head to the exclusive film set, a luxurious California mansion with a vibe Dugmor dubs “lifestyles of the porn and famous.” Malezia gets right down to business, but starring in a high-end porn movie for the first time, she struggles with her lines and finds things are not as easy as she had hoped. The next day, she returns to the set determined to prove she has what it takes to be a Vivid girl. At the end of the shoot, the director tells her she’s a natural; in fact, she might be “too good.” For Malezia, the big time has arrived. Back in Montreal, Dave Angelo and his wife, Manon, have taken to the streets to promote the imminent launch of Dave’s first live webcam show on daveangeloconnection.com. First they make a splash at Montreal’s Gay Pride parade, and then they have the idea of doing a slightly unconventional live sex show at the Black & Blue, a massive gay rave. They are going to indulge in a “bisexual threesome” in a tub of molten chocolate. But will this kind of sticky business really create hype for the site’s webcam premiere? When Dave logs on for the first time, he finds the site devoid of any customers. Sitting in front of the camera in his underwear, he wonders where his promo campaign went wrong.

The episode opens with Dugmor and Malezia continuing their exciting odyssey in Los Angeles, but Malezia is having trouble keeping up with the tight schedule set by her new employers, the porn production house Vivid, and her chronic lateness is posing a problem. We follow her as she rushes to an important L.A. trade show, where she is shown off as the hottest new porn star in America, and then to a visit with Doc Johnson, the famed creator of sex toys. At Doc Johnson’s, Malezia gets her private parts cast in latex, a process that will lead to the creation of a vinyl sex toy made in her likeness. It’s a bittersweet time for Malezia and Dugmor. The dynamic duo has come a long way together, but they must now part ways. Malezia needs to return to Montreal, and Dugmor, a nomad at heart, will be hitting the road in his van, searching for more starlets whose careers he can lucratively launch — his continuing quest for “the next Malezia.” Far from the bright lights of L.A., Dave Angelo and Manon are at it again, undeterred by their recent failure to attract customers to daveangeloconnection.com. They feel what the site needs now is more original content, and Dave has the idea of enlisting some of his friends from the porn and strip club circuit to engage in a bit of play fighting — an erotic, ultimate wrestling “fight club” that Manon will film for the website. It’s all sexy fun and games until somebody gets hurt. The fight club is only part of Dave and Manon’s master plan, though. They have also purchased a Montreal triplex, which they plan to combine into their home, the shoot site for daveangeloconnection.com, and a kind of erotic hotel, with fantasy playrooms for rent. But with their website bringing in no income and the renovation bills racking up, the couple fears they may be facing financial disaster. Dave tells Manon not to worry; as a gay porn star, he knows some sure ways to make fast cash. On the other side of the city, we are reintroduced to webcam girl Laurelle, who is new to Montreal, having relocated with her boyfriend, Dallas, from Western Canada only two months prior. Laurelle is a porn neophyte, and the pressures of her job as a webcam hostess at 2Much.net are taking a toll on the young couple’s relationship. Laurelle is moving out of their shared apartment, and when, in a bid for reconciliation, Dallas tries to visit Laurelle at work, 2Much.net owner Mark Prince tells him he is not welcome at the company offices anymore. An explosive altercation ensues, and Laurelle, already fragile from her failing relationship, is on the verge of breakdown. Meanwhile, things are looking up for Russian beauty Katrina. First, she catches the eye of porn legend Ron Jeremy, who is in Montreal on a promotional tour. Katrina and Jeremy talk business, and things heat up when business turns to pleasure as Jeremy “samples” the young porn actress’s “talents.” At home, more news awaits Katrina. As a sort of hobby, she had been writing a novel, a tale of a Russian porn star in Paris, and it has found its way to an editor in France. After a promising call from a literary agent in Paris, she is packing her bags for a new chapter in her career.

After an incredible run with Malezia in Los Angeles, Dugmor has to turn his focus to other business. He heads off to Miami to attend Internext, one of the most important adult web conferences in the world. He hooks up with fellow webmasters Uncle D and Jay Scott. Dugmor and the boys busy themselves clicking pictures and networking. There’s the bikini contest and a convention centre full of nubile women, all more than happy to be photographed. Dugmor has hired a local Miami girl to help him pass out flyers and work the trade show floor. When he meets Karen for the first time, he instantly falls for her. Although she’s very conservative and has never been exposed to porn, the two hit it off. There’s a hint that the wild Dugmor might be ready to commit. With the home renovations and website costs running wild, Dave is in desperate need of $30,000 to keep things moving forward. He says goodbye to his wife and heads to New York City, where he knows he can make some fast cash. His first stop is the famed Gaiety Theatre, a strip club in downtown Manhattan. Dancing never pays well, but it’s a great place for Dave to meet up with a long-time friend and client, John. Back at the hotel, we witness how Dave really makes his money. With the stunning call from her contact in France, Katrina jumps at the chance to have her novel published and flies to Paris. Jean-Luc has set up many meetings for her there, including a high-end photo shoot with Christophe Morte, one of France’s best. He’s also set her up with Parisian porn mogul Fred Copula, who’s keen to hire her for a porn flick he’s shooting that week, but Katrina hasn’t brought her most recent HIV test results and sees a golden opportunity slip away.
