Loaded follows the story of Tristan Price (Erick Gosse), an unemployed, aspiring writer who is trying to make ends meet while working a dead-end job at a call center. One night, while out at a bar with his friend, Sebastian James (Thomas Tamburello), Tristan meets a mysterious, wealthy stranger (Jesse Berns) who offers him an opportunity to make some quick cash.
The mysterious stranger presents Tristan with a plan to use his writing talents to help him create an erotic website that caters specifically to women. The website will feature content filmed from the perspective of the male actors and will be marketed towards a female audience. Despite his initial reservations, Tristan agrees to the proposal, and soon finds himself being drawn into a world of sex, money, and deception.
As Tristan and Sebastian begin to work on the project, they soon discover that their new client has a dark past and is involved in illegal activities. As they delve deeper into the project, they come face to face with the dangerous underworld that exists beneath the surface of the erotic film industry. The closer Tristan gets to the truth, the more dangerous the situation becomes, and he soon finds himself in over his head.
Along the way, Tristan meets Isabelle (Lynn Adrianna Freedman), a beautiful and intelligent journalist who is investigating the same criminal organization that Tristan has become tangled up with.
