The club's DJ, drug dealer Tobias (Gabriel Iglesias), provides the dancers with samples of refined GHB to improve their stamina. However, Tarzan ingests too much of the drug, and is unable to perform. Mike convinces Adam to fill in for him, and Adam is a hit with the customers, earning a good amount of money. After a double date with Mike and two of the club's female clients, Adam is convinced to join the Xquisite and Mike nicknames him "The Kid".
Upon returning home, Adam is lectured by Brooke for staying out all night. He introduces her to Mike, and the two seem to be attracted to one another, although Brooke initially acts uninterested. Brooke later attends Adam's first official performance, but becomes embarrassed and leaves.
Mike and Brooke's attraction continues to grow in the following months, despite that Brooke is dating a man who lives in Orlando and Mike has an on-again off-again relationship with a woman named Joanna (Olivia Munn). Adam delves further into the excessive lifestyle of the Xquisite dancers, using drugs and having sexual encounters with many clients. When Dallas announces he has a plan to move their act to Miami, Mike confides in Brooke that he wants to retire from the business in the near future and has been saving money and attempting to get a small business loan to pursue his dream of opening a custom furniture business. Mike later attends a hurricane party at Dallas' house, where the dancers celebrate the move to Miami. After Dallas tells Mike that he will only receive a 7 percent share in the business, instead of the 10 percent he originally promised, Mike becomes uncomfortable and leaves.
At the same hurricane party, Adam becomes part of scheme created by Tobias to sell drugs to Xquisite's clients, and is eventually given a package of ecstasy. A few days later, Mike and Adam perform for a private party at a sorority house, and Adam brings the package of drugs with him. A girl that was given an ecstasy pill by Adam becomes ill, causing a brawl between Adam and the girl's boyfriend. Mike and Adam are forced to flee the scene, with Adam being unable to retrieve the package of pills. He tells Mike it's no big deal because the drugs were only worth $1,000. After cleaning up, the two go to Ybor City, where Mike sees Joanna in a restaurant having dinner with a man and, after confronting her, learns the man is her fiance. Later, at Xquisite, Dallas is infuriated to learn Mike didn't collect payment for the private show before the fight occurred. During the heated discussion, Mike confronts Dallas about the reduced profit sharing, which leads to a falling out between the two men. While they are arguing, Adam admits to Tobias he lost the drugs he was given.
After that night's show at the club is finished, Mike and Adam go to a club. Mike brings home a girl he meets there, and Adam meets up with a party girl named Nora (Riley Keough) whom he originally met at Dallas' party and brings her back to Mike's house, nearly overdosing on Nora's drugs before being found by a worried Brooke the next morning. Brooke angrily confronts Mike and accuses him of failing to protect her brother as he promised and ends her friendship with him. Later on, Tobias' suppliers break into Mike's house looking for Adam, who owes them money for the lost drugs. Realizing Adam lied to him about the drugs' worth, Mike gives them $10,000 - the majority of his savings - to pay Adam's debt. Later that day, Mike goes to Brooke's apartment looking for Adam. She tells him that Adam no longer lives there and she believes he has moved in with Nora. She reveals to him that she thinks it's a mistake for the two of them to go to Miami, with Mike telling her that being a stripper is not who he is, and the reason he is going to Miami is so that he will someday be able to leave that lifestyle entirely, asking Brooke to believe him. Brooke tells Mike that she wonders if he, himself, really believes it.
