The story

Best friends Matt Rossi and Nicky Parzeno run a management company for Manhattan’s best exotic dancers, managing and booking their clients into clubs across the borough.

Rossi and Parzeno immediately suspect rival promoter Lou Goldstein, but he vehemently denies any involvement.

Rossi and Loretta slowly begin to rekindle their relationship, while Wheeler begins to suspect that the attacks may not be gang-related, but instead the work of a single person.
