Synopsis:
Armand Goldman owns a popular ‘drag’ nightclub in South Miami Beach. His long-time lover, Albert, stars there as ‘Starina’. Their son, Val (actually Armand’s son by his one heterosexual fling, 20 years before), comes home to announce his engagement to Barbara Keeley, daughter of Kevin Keeley, U.S. Senator and co-founder of the Committee for Moral Order.
The senator and family descend upon South Beach to meet Val’s family – what ensues is comic chaos.
