États-Unis, années 40. Dans une étonnante propriété se côtoient quantité d’hommes (presque) nus qui batifolent autour de la piscine. Ce décor, c’est celui dans lequel évolue Bob Mizer, fondateur de « The Athletic Model Guild », un magazine de photos où les hommes posent nus ou presque. Jack Lalane, Joe Dallessandro et Wayne Stanley, anciens modèles de Mizer, témoignent chacun à leur manière de leur expérience. Pour la plupart d’entre eux, Bob Mizer dotait la jeunesse américaine d’un bréviaire de la forme et de la santé sans aucune intention homoérotique. Des procès furent pourtant engagés et une chasse aux sorcières organisée contre ces photographes jugés scandaleux. Mêlant allégrement documents d’archives et scènes de fiction délirantes, ce documentaire est à la fois l’histoire d’un homme et celle d’une époque.
