Simon has big ambitions for his career as a drag queen, however, he finds himself dealing with two “impossible loves.” He begins a “passionate, physical affair” with fellow drag queen Oliver (Maritaud), who is also known as the glamorous drag star Dragona.

Not to mention, his estranged mother Claire comes back in town after 15 years, and it doesn’t take long for Simon to realize that his mother is not invested in reconnecting with him. With this, plus the fact that Oliver seems to be uninterested in being involved with Simon’s personal struggles, the up-and-coming drag queen is faced with distractions that can be destructive to his career.
