Synopsis

One night in the basement of a drag bar, rehearsals are underway for the evening's show; queens Kim and Ava face the pressures of change when their manager replaces their colleague for a younger queen. Meanwhile upstairs in the bar, young couple Jack and Nora try to salvage their relationship despite their secrets; and not too far away, washed-up actor Robert Lamore catches up with his agent in the hopes of a comeback. As the night ensues, each story comes together through the shared pressures of performance, pride, and second chances.
