She never expected this much drama from a strip club...

Stephanie Hanes is a young, 24 year old woman. Spunky, fun and a little crazy at times, she wasn't sure what to do with her life until she realised the money that was made at strip clubs; not necessarily from dancing on the pole...

Now managing one of the hottest male strip clubs out there -Triple X- she's living the high life! It feels good to be providing entertainment for others.  

Only the feeling quickly passes when she starts to fall for one of her employees.

Now the question is; Will a relationship like that actually work?

All Celebrities In This Story Are NOT Famous! Including Michael.

Meet Mariah: Mariah has been best friends with Michael since he moved to California in 1970, she's been in love with him for about as long. But considering the fact that she's three years younger then him, he's always seen her as "his baby", a child, his little sister and not the woman she's become. Mariah wants to show him how she feels but theres just one problem getting in the way.

Meet Michael: Michael has always known Mariah had a crush on him, and he can't say that he didn't return the feelings, but afraid to jump into anything and ruin their friendship he closets his feelings and tries to move on. Besides he couldn't have a thing for Mariah, she was his baby girl, like a sister. he convinced everyone else, he could convince himself...right?

Michael was always a goodie-two-shoes; he was a straight-A student, volunteered at the community center, tutored younger kids, and stayed away from the drugs.

But that all changes after he’s found guilty of a crime he didn’t commit...

His teachers hate him. His peers shun him. His family disowns him.

The court forces him to go to a boarding school for other delinquents like himself to learn his lesson. He’s all on his own.

Being such a good student, he tries to keep a good attitude at the school, but it gets increasingly harder when his roommate, Marilyn, turns out to be straight from the nut house!

Michael soon learns that Marilyn is absolutely Hell bent on dragging Michael into his world of women, drugs, sex, violence, and alcohol. Marilyn keeps Michael trapped in his universe; Michael wants out, and fast!

But then he meets a girl, and everything changes.

Michael changes. Marilyn changes.

Getting out now seems like a bitter-sweet option to Michael, and his world is turned upside down as he continues to explore the reality of a rebel, and begins to enjoy it...

“Welcome to Seacrest School, Mr Jackson...”
