Billed as the “outrageous untold story of the world’s first viral video” the drama depicts the whirlwind marriage between Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee (who wed on a Cancun beach in 1995 after only knowing each other for 96 hours) and the subsequent leak of their private honeymoon footage. The sex tape went viral, shook Hollywood, and turned into a messy dispute, with Pam and Tommy suing the video distribution company Internet Entertainment Group.
