Rose Raynes was crowned Miss Arizona 15 years ago. Now a bored housewife trapped in a less-than-ideal marriage and mourning the independence of her 10-year-old son, Rose accepts an invitation to teach a life skills class at a women’s shelter.
Digging out the relics of her pageant queen past, Rose attempts to share her “Making Your Presence a Present” platform speech with a room of four disinterested women dodging abusive exes. But when trouble shows up at the shelter, what the women really need is for Rose’s shiny SUV to get them out of dodge.
The five women embark on an all-night adventure through L.A.’s darkest streets and wildest drag club as they fight to survive, and in so doing, discover what they need most.
