Dante is working mighty hard to be A Straight Man™. And failing. Who arrives one day, unannounced, but his inner diva—long thought to be vanquished, if it weren't for those pesky home videos recorded years ago. There she is in 2003, sashaying in a rainbow wig, lip-syncing Kelly Clarkson, alone. That refrain, now a call to adventure: What happened to Miss Independent? In this fever dream of memory and home video, Dante is forced to remix not only the past but also truth, gender, and the family myths that dictate them.
