This is not a strip club.
This is an
elite lap dance experience.

What would you do if you were found out?

An overworked assistant who moonlights at a lap dance party is thrown when her dayjob boss comes into the club one night. With the help of her co-workers (boisterous manager Clark, eccentric dancers Samantha and Rebeca, and a shy newbie), Emmy attempts to one-up the person who's made her life a living hell. 

 

As her worlds collide, the two are caught in a delightfully awkward game of social chicken and an unspoken power struggle that begs the question – who’s really in charge?
