The Strip: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Melissa is a top corporate lawyer in her mid-thirties. An ultra-dedicated career woman who has climbed the legal ladder rapidly, but whose life is turned upside down when her husband, Glenn leaves her for his gym trainer.

Through the emotional turmoil that follows, Melissa wonders where it all went wrong. She laments that because she got so caught up in her career, she neglected not only her marriage, but also her daughter, Paige (16), who feels almost like a stranger to her these days.

Looking for solace, Melissa heads to a "Hen Night" to track down her friend, Kathryn. There, with a male strip-o-gram doing his thing, she has an epiphany...Melissa's going to get out of the corporate rat race and set-up the country's classiest male strip club!
