In late 1970s Los Angeles, a struggling nightclub looks for the next big thing. Enter the Chippendales. Their raunchy male strip show rides a wave of social liberation to runaway success. But sleazy characters taint the magic with murder and deception.

Business booms as the brand takes New York with a sold-out show. The leading men become media darlings, and merchandise brings in millions - but a moral backlash brews. As the group gets richer, protests intensify, and a dark power struggle ensues.

The driving force behind Chippendales lies dead, but the show goes on. As key players spiral into addiction, lawsuits in LA threaten the club where it all started. As copycat dance troupes multiply, a serious rival emerges, and a deadly plot resurfaces.

The Chippendales fight to stay number one, but a poisonous plan is in motion. As undercover agents close in and cold cases reignite, it seems the masterminds will stop at nothing to cover up their crimes.

In this four-part series, the muscular male dancers of the Chippendales captured the hearts and dollars of the 1980s. But even as crowds swelled, the beefcakes and businessmen behind the phenomenon plunged into lives of drugs, paranoia, and murder.
