Canadian drag queen Craig Russell develops a stage act consisting of spot-on impersonations of classic Hollywood movie stars. He takes in roommate Hollis McLaren who suffers from schizophrenia and has just run away from a mental hospital, though is still under the care of a doctor. The odd couple live an odd life of parties, drugs and drag shows at the club. She eventually gets pregnant and he goes to New York to find fame and fortune. The impersonations are the best part and hilarious. McLaren's mental illness tends to drag it down, though there are lessons to be learned along the way and an upbeat ending.
