Synopsis:
It seems business as usual at a local gentleman’s club…gorgeous women dancing for wealthy businessmen, and a lot of cash exchanging hands. Club owner Larry (Marcus Jean Pirae) is taken by surprise when a stoic and rather judgmental IRS Tax Agent (Ian Ziering) appears at his door to conduct an audit investigation on the club for tax fraud. Larry seems paranoid, and for good reason, as he has plenty to hide from the likes of the IRS…

Lily (Elana Krausz), the club manager, closely watches the agent as he conducts his investigation. A former stripper herself, the street-smart Lily must conceal the many illegal activities occurring in the club – illicit sex, crooked books, drugs, and under-age dancers, are only the tip of the iceberg.

Things quickly change when Wren, a beautiful young runaway girl arrives by chance looking for work. Despite Lily’s warnings, Larry takes her on and shows her the ropes, only to begin targeting her as his next sexual prey. The IRS Agent starts to see beneath the surface, and senses there is something else brewing between the strippers and their abusive club owner…

When Larry mysteriously disappears the next morning, the IRS Agent finds his investigation delving into territory he has not encountered before – that of missing persons, kidnapping, and even murder.

Soon there is blood on everyone’s hands. With Lily torn between her allegiance to Larry, her dancers, and her desire to keep the club legitimate, she must find a way out before the truth is discovered.
