Lou Pearlman assembles the Backstreet Boys and their competitors, NSYNC. But after racking up gold records, the men are stunned by their paltry paydays.

After a lawsuit, Lou launches a reality TV show to find the next big music act. As employees question Lou's cash source, the FBI takes interest.

Amid a too-good-to-be-true savings plan, bad checks, forgeries and dubious financial statements, investors seek justice — while Lou travels the globe.
