Our protagonist is 29 years old, a brilliant executive assistant working for an incredibly successful man. Think monoracially Black Pepper Potts from Iron Man — detail-oriented, witty, a perfectionist. She’s the type who keeps her boss’s life running seamlessly while making it look effortless.
But she leads a double life.
Every weekend, she drives two hours out of town to strip — and she’s even better at that. She’s shrewd, experienced, and can break a trick with minimal effort. She loves the craft, cares deeply about her performance, and has built a separate world for herself within the club. No one from her day job knows, and the only people who do — her friends at the club — have their own secrets, making them the safest confidants.
One night, the house mom approaches her about working a private party. Normally, she’d decline — the competition on those nights is cutthroat, and she doesn’t need the extra money. But this time? Fresh off a breakup, the weekend just so happens to fall during her forced vacation from work. Her boss insisted she take time off while he flies home to help his aging parents move into assisted living.
What she doesn’t realize? He lied.
Saying yes to this party will change the course of her entire life — and the hard boundary between her two worlds will start to blur in ways she never saw coming.
