Synopsis
It was an idea that should have made its three founders rich - instead, only one of them made it out alive. This limited series chronicles the extraordinary story of the Chippendales - a tale of arson attacks, international FBI sting operations, a plan to murder a rival dance troupe, and enough cyanide to kill 2,000 people. With the swagger of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights, this premium documentary series interweaves gritty true crime, intense human drama, and a deep dive into the social and cultural legacy of the 1980s.
