In late 70's Los Angeles the parties are wild, disco is king, and a struggling club is looking for the next big thing. Enter the Chippendales and the rookie businessmen behind it. Their motley crew of male dancers flipped the Playboy dream for women into a raunchy male strip show. Witness the birth of a cultural phenomenon, riding a wave of social liberation to become an overnight hit with seemingly endless possibilities for fame and fortune. But runaway early success brings sleazy characters who taint the magic with murder and set the tone for decades of deception.
