Episode description

This week, we revist the fascinating and scandalous true-crime story of Somen Banerjee, a shy but ambitious man from India who made a name for himself in America by opening a club that would become the home of the infamous Chippendales. While you may be familiar with The Chippendales, what you might not know is the wild events that occurred behind the scenes.

Initially a story of the American Dream, Somen's rise to riches is quickly tainted by greed and fame, leading to a deadly combination of jealousy, betrayal and revenge. So buckle up and get ready to learn about the lengths and crimes one man is willing to commit in order for him to succeed...
