When heartbroken Bible Belt wife, Honey B. Dews loses everything, she and her book club decide to turn a former Strip Club into The Flirt Bar, where women can go and be flirted with. To pull it off, she has to team up with Raquel Ramone – the hard-singing, god-fearing, gay Greek chorus of a singer who comes with the place.
