Just 21, newly sober and recently evicted, Valerie Hager is invited by her best friend Raven to work at a strip club in Tijuana, Mexico. An evening that begins in innocence and excitement over making some easy cash seduces her into a 10-year career that tests the limits of friendship and her will to survive. Told with live pole dancing and over a dozen characters who danced in and frequented the clubs, Naked in Alaska is a fearless look at the objects we make of ourselves to fit in and the buried truths we must face to have a chance of coming home.
