Doggedly decorative and sometimes decadent pop darling Boy George charts the rise and fall of the ultimate disco, Studio 54, which opened its doors - to the dance-, drugs-, glamour- and sex-inclined of Manhattan's glitterati and to the city's fabulously presented hoi polloi - first in April 1977, only to shut three years later under the weight of unbridled hedonism and tax fraud. Operated by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, the club was perhaps the first to flaunt global tabloid clout, and coincided with the peak of 70s disco without necessarily being at the heart of it. Recalling the halcyon days of history's most famous dancefloor are jet-set PR socialite Carmen D'Alessio, deejay Nicky Siano, disco producer Nile Rodgers, fashionista Keni Valenti and roller-skating drag queen Rollerena, plus bartenders, dancers, busboys and terrifyingly selective doorman Mark Benecke.
