Mann to Mann

"Mann To Mann" is the story of the Mann sisters, blustery Veronica, who insists on being called "Ronnie", and beleaguered Victoria, who insists on being called "Victoria." When their father, Alfred "Bud" Mann, lapses into a coma, his living will dictates that Victoria, the eldest, run Hot Shots; the male strip club that is the family cash cow. Victoria, a scion of rectitude who works at a reputable law firm, is appalled. Her sister Ronnie is incensed. The club should have gone to her; an opinion she maintains despite a past that includes alcoholism, bankruptcy, and, allegedly, arson. Forced despite her best efforts to helm Hot Shots, Victoria soon finds herself in over her head. Ronnie comes to the rescue and the two are forged into a reluctant partnership. Alternately helping and hindering are Jerry Riggins, the small time talent agent who provides the strippers... Ty Lennox, a high maintenance feature who would rather dance in "Stomp" on Broadway... and Billy Broadfoot, a.k.a. Billy Two Jokes, a native stand up who plays MC.
