The basic premise behind the mockumentary format is simple: After a fortune teller tells Julian that he’s going to die soon, he decides to hire a documentary crew to film his everyday life to later serve as a warning for anyone considering a similar life of drinking, drugs, and crime.

During the show’s run on Canadian TV from 2001-2007, most of the boys’ daily troubles revolved around getting away with petty crimes, drunk driving, and their evolving weed-growing and hash business without getting caught by alcoholic trailer park supervisor Jim Lahey (played by Canadian thespian John Dunsworth) .(…)
