Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Here's the DVD telefeature of the two episodes that started the adventures at Man Alive***Melissa is a top corporate lawyer in her mid-thirties, an ultra-dedicated career woman who has climbed the legal ladder rapidly, but whose life is turned upside down when her husband, Glenn, leaves her for his gym trainer. The bizarre events of the worst day of her life lead to an epiphany; she decides she is going to get out of the corporate rat race and set up the country's classiest male strip club! The series follows Melissa as she tries to balance her new role as a male strip club proprietor, with the demands placed on her as a mother, daughter, friend and lover.

Melissa has now become an established part of 'The Strip' - the colorful red light district where her club is located. Having won over the locals she's no longer a 'fish out of water'; but the passionate relationship which developed with Adam (one of her strippers) looks to be turning nasty. But pretty soon there's a new guy on the block who's vying for her attention. Her daughter, Paige, has left her conservative Catholic school but isn't sure whether the liberal state school she's now attending is giving her enough freedom. Mel's pretty sure Paige could use a little discipline in some areas, but she has her hands pretty full with her best friend, bar fly Kathryn. Everyone gets to see a different side of Kath when she falls in love, quits being a party girl and moves in with her gynecologist, Peter. But will Kath's happiness last? Mel's mother, Leslie, continues to be a thorn in her side, blocking Mel's efforts to track down and reconnect with her estranged father. On top of all this, Mel must find time to deal with the business of the strip club: the feisty strippers, the strange, other-worldly choreographer, the laconic barman, and the excitable women who come along every night to forget their troubles and have a great girls' night out at Man Alive.

A corporate lawyer, after finding her husband in bed with his lover, decides her life needs a new direction and chucks in her job, to open a strip club.
