Mike Lane, portrayed by Channing Tatum, aspires for more than just making ends meet through a series of odd jobs—his most notable being a star stripper at the Xquisite Strip Club. The club is run by Dallas, played by Matthew McConaughey, who has grand visions of establishing an “empire” of strip clubs.
In a twist of fate, Mike encounters a freshly-jobless nineteen-year-old named Adam, played by Alex Pettyfer. Mike decides to mentor Adam, introducing him to the world of stripping at Xquisite. Through Adam, Mike meets his sister Brooke and finds himself drawn to her, despite his tumultuous relationship with Joanna, played by Olivia Munn.
