But when her children, Edith and Lance, discover what she's done, they decide to take revenge! Family secrets are revealed and you'll never see the surprise twist coming. This Greek tragedy on acid is an over-the-top comedy of Gay Hollywood proportions. You won't want to miss this rollicking good time!
