Tagline – “A Love Story Between A Man And His Stripper”

“25 words or less” – A down on his luck single guy falls in love with a stripper but finds it’s extremely difficult to accept the requirements of her job

Full Summary:
Simon Reynolds has just been dumped by another girlfriend; this one didn’t even have the decency to break up with him to his face opting instead to leave a cold-hearted voicemail. The next day he joins the last of his single friends for his bachelor party at a local strip club. Instead of having fun and enjoying the night with his boys, he sulks at the end of bar feeling depressed and alone.

A slightly awkward guy, he considers himself not much of a strip club guy and doesn’t see the appeal of going to a place where you have to pay a girl for her company. However, a few days after the bachelor party, he finds a free pass to the same strip club in his coat pocket as he prepares to leave work. Having nothing else to do, he decides to stop into the strip club, which is on his way home anyways, for two drinks.

A quick two drinks turns into a seven hour visit when he meets a stripper named Melanie, the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen in his life. Melanie also takes a liking to Simon and ends up spending hours getting to know him while disregarding the potential for making money from the other male patrons who would be willing to actually pay her to dance.

Simon is in love and starts going to the club to see more of her. He asks her out on a date but her strict “no dating customers” policy forbids her from mingling with him outside of the club. But Simon doesn’t relent, and in his kind-hearted manner he changes tact – “how about just grabbing coffee after you get off your shift sometime.” Sensing that this would be much easier to deal with, Melanie finally accepts.

They meet at a non-descript diner in Manhattan close by the strip club and sparks immediately fly. If they take this to the next level though, Melanie has one rule for Simon, “you know I’m a stripper and you know what I do; the only thing I ask is that you never become a jealous man because of my line of work.”

Although Simon agrees, it’s easier said than done, can he really follow through with it? How will he be able to deal with her odd work hours? How will he feel when he sees her giving another male customer a seductive lap dance? What will he do if he sees her vanish with some guy to a VIP room for hours on end? And will his reactions to her actions, actions that she needs to perform as a stripper, rip them apart and ruin their newfound relationship?
