The driving force behind Chippendales lies dead. With no evidence and no leads, the NYPD's case goes cold. But the show goes on, and women worldwide can't get enough, packing out arenas across continents. As the key players spiral into addiction and paranoia, global growth can't mask the problems shaking the business at its core. Lawsuits in the show's hometown threaten the Los Angeles club where it all started. And as copycat dance troupes multiply, a serious rival emerges for the first time, and a deadly plot surfaces once again.
