Synopsis

Desperate times call for desperate measures and Ray Drecker's situation couldn't be much tougher.

The former high school sports legend turned middle-aged high school basketball coach is divorced and struggling to provide for his kids when his already run-down house catches fire.

Looking to take on a second job, Ray decides to exploit his best asset in a last-ditch attempt to change his fortunes.

Created by Dmitry Lipkin (creator of The Riches) and Colette Burson, Hung uses dark humour to tell the story of a man fighting to survive personal setbacks that have been compounded by a troubled economy.
