SYNOPSIS

After trying to escape his father’s low-key, family ambitions for him,
Charlie Price has suddenly inherited his father’s shoe factory, which is on
the verge of bankruptcy. Charlie must now face the decision of whether to
pursue a new life in London with his fiancée Nicola, or return to the town
in which he grew up and save his father’s dreams. Ultimately, Charlie
decides to try to live up to his father’s legacy and rescue his family
business, and, in doing so, he finds unlikely inspiration in the form of
Lola, a fabulous drag queen in need of some sturdy stiletto boots. Lola
turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he’s
meant to be.
