        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.
