SYNOPSIS:

As James Herndon (Sweet Evening Breeze), an African American considered by some to be the originator of the Lexington Kentucky drag scene, spends their last days in a nursing home, they are visited by Dawn, a young African American employee, struggling with their own identity. Over several visits, "Sweets" shares their heralding story starting in turn-of-the-century Lexington Kentucky. After being orphaned at a hospital as a young child, they spent their early life living and working at the hospital, lovingly regarded by those around them. As an adult, they spent their life exploring their gender queer identity, often performing in drag, "holding court" in gay bars, and dressing queerly in everyday life. They were well known for their lavish parties, baked goods, giving to those in need, and getting an archaic and discriminatory law changed. They meet and befriend many quirky characters throughout their long life. With these stories, Dawn learns the importance of and finds the strength to be themselves.
