After all, how hard can it be?

The Money Shot is a lighthearted comedy drama dealing with people's relationships with porn (in this case adult erotic movies). Carmen Ryan is young and has just graduated from her filmmaking course at university and the world is her oyster. She has kind, supportive parents who think the world of her and is partnered by Stuart, her loving boyfriend. What could upset her idyllic lifestyle? While everything seems so rosy, Carmen steps into the world of nine to five only to find it doesn't want her. Upset by the prospect of unemployment, Carmen diligently sets about rectifying the situation by channeling her skills into making a porno. After allaying the initial resistance from Stuart, the pair set about producing their first erotic film. Helped by Carmen's friend Tracey and hindered by their housemate Vince, they turn their house into a film set and cameras begin to roll. After all, how hard can it be?
