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.</p>
