Trying to stay in the spotlight, brothel owner Dennis Hof runs for political office; dark secrets threaten to destroy him and his legacy.

When a former LA Lakers star arrives at a Nevada brothel to get away from it all, what should have been a fun party turns into a drug-fueled nightmare for everyone involved.

The world was shocked when a young Bunny Ranch brothel worker was brutally murdered in Oklahoma City. As police searched for answers, brothel owner Dennis Hof saw a media opportunity.

In order to escape her abusive husband, a woman fled to the Bunny Ranch thinking that legal brothels are safe. To her horror, her journey became even darker and more twisted than she could have imagined.

Millions of young girls watched Cathouse on TV, thinking that legal prostitution could be a shortcut to money and fame. But new recruits quickly discovered that the reality is a world of manipulation, intimidation, abuse, and debt bondage.

While life on the HBO series "Cathouse" was portrayed as one giant party, former sex workers say that behind the scenes, brothel life was anything but glamorous.
