Russ Tulane is trying to throw an illegal wedding reception for his estranged lesbian mother, Nachetska, on the decennial anniversary of 9/11 in Weatherford Texas. He’s broke, about to be divorced, and panicking. He’s also attempting to perform the most personally terrifying stunt as a surprise peace offering to Nachetska: DRAG. Russ tries to navigate the physical realities of doing drag, his overly enthusiastic friends, disputes among the drag queens performing at the reception, Nachetska’s imperious fault finding, the decrepit venue, the seemingly greedy owners, and a never ending rainstorm. However, memories of his traumatic past threaten to overwhelm him as he strives to atone for his checkered past.
