Players


An internet drama.

PlayersIn every city in the world right now, men of all ages are meeting in ‘seduction lairs’ to learn how to pick up women. Rejecting traditional dating advice, they exchange hardcore tactics and techniques for fast seduction and live their lives like a secret brotherhood.

Players is the new UK internet drama and web portal that takes us into this secret world. 

It follows the lives of four players dedicated to the science of seduction.  It’s Hustle for Don Juans.  It’s This Life for Lotharios.  It’s Cold Feet for Casanovas.

When his long term girlfriend dumps him in his first week of uni, shy student Primo (19) joins a seduction lair, determined to transform himself from campus loser to campus lover.

The club is run by Flynn (45), an enigmatic ladies man who makes a living teaching nerds how to score.  He can pick up women almost telepathically and has a messianic mission to pass his secrets on to the chosen few.

They are joined by Legend (30), a cocky Lothario with the subtlety of a sledge-hammer, who chases girls to forget about his dying mum.

The other member is Viper (27): journalist, sexual predator, and… a woman. The kind of girl who hates hanging out with the girls, she knows more about the art of pick-up than the guys and no man, or woman, is safe around her.

Like some VIP Lounge Fantastic Four, they surf coffee shops, canal-front Euro bars and night clubs in search of the perfect pick up, fighting player-haters and cock-blockers wherever they go.

But their lifestyle is a dangerous game they can't always reconcile with their public lives of work, friends and family. When the secret’s out, all hell breaks loose.
