Well, that's one way to go about the story, but in order to make it acceptable, it has to be something like "Breaking Bad" -- Max's descent into the torrid world of the dom/sub sex industry. Kinda edgy, and it has to have a tragic ending in order to make it, erm, tasteful (for lack of a better word) and to retain its edginess.
If he has to succumb to patron pressure, I'd suggest turning it into a "Modern Family" sort of dom/sub incest story (as in family-friendly, I meant, in a twisted x-rated sorta way, lol). There is a reason why "Modern Family" has 9 seasons and is still going strong, while "Breaking Bad" has only 5 and has ended already for a couple of years now.
