Hung is a comedy-drama
series, which premiered on HBO on June 28, 2009. The series was created by Dmitry
Lipkin and Colette Burson and stars Thomas Jane as Ray Drecker, a struggling
suburban Detroit high school basketball coach who resorts to male prostitution.
The Second Season premiered on June 27, 2010 and concluded its 10 episode run
on September 12, 2010. On September 2, 2010 it was announced that HBO had ordered
Hung for a third season consisting of 10 episodes set to premiere in 2011
Hung follows Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane),
an unhappy, financially strapped history teacher and athletic coach at a high
school in suburban Detroit. He's also the father of twin teenagers (Charlie
Saxton and Sianoa Smit-McPhee) who are currently living with their remarried
mother (Anne Heche). After a fire destroyed the childhood home Ray still owns
and lived in, he is left without many options. With the help of a friend, Tanya
(Jane Adams), Ray decides to turn his large penis into an opportunity to make
money. The episodes center on Ray's attempts to maintain a "normal"
life while starting his business as a male prostitute. Together, Tanya and Ray
begin Happiness Consultants.
The second season focuses on the complex dynamic between Ray and his two pimps,
Tanya and Lenore (Rebecca Creskoff). Lenore, a life coach who Tanya brought
in to help them in the early stages of the business, began taking over Happiness
Consultants late in the first season, as she believes she can take Ray places
in the business and views Tanya as an obstacle.

Wikipedia Packard Plant
The Packard Plant is former automobile-manufacturing factory in Detroit, Michigan where luxury Packard cars were made by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana.
The 3,500,000-square-foot (325,000 m2) plant was designed by Albert Kahn and is located on over 35 acres (0.142 km2) of land on East Grand Boulevard. It included the first use of reinforced concrete for industrial construction in Detroit.
The Packard plant was opened in 1903 and at the time was considered the most modern automobile manufacturing facility in the world with skilled craftsmen who practiced over eighty trades. The factory closed in 1958, however, but the buildings remain standing as of 2010, and the city has pledged legal action to have it demolished or secured.
