In the 1980s, Chippendales was a worldwide phenomenon; at the center of its meteoric growth are Steve Banerjee, who left India to live the American dream, and Nick De Noia, a children's television producer.

The bigger Chippendales gets, the more problems it faces, including mobsters, disgruntled dancers, churchgoers and Nick De Noia and Steve Banerjee, the two masterminds behind the show, who become obsessed with their fortunes.

The NYPD investigates multiple leads into the murder of Nick De Noia, and possible motives include a love triangle, insurance fraud, and an angry boss -- all of which lead nowhere; years later, the FBI gets a tip from a hit man named "Strawberry."

The FBI teams up with down-and-out actor Ray Colon, who leads federal agents on an international manhunt for the man behind Nick De Noia's murder; even after the mystery is solved and the killer is behind bars, the show is far from over.
