Joey and Bruce, the happy New York gay couple, donned their gay apparel and are anticipating the Christmas holidays until Bruce’s right wing off the wall religious parents announce an unexpected holiday visit. Shhhh!!! They don’t know about Bruce loving Joey. Will Bruce “de-gay” their apartment and “de-Joey” his life?? Will Joey be forced to spend Christmas with a neighborly but overprotective drag queen, or will he seek solace in the arms of a hunky one-night stand? What follows is an emotional roller-coaster ride of live, acceptance, “coming out” and real family values as they seek to balance their lives and create a future together!

Dale Spitler, excellently played by the adorable Nathan Sexton, is a small town gay boy who hasn’t had much of a chance to take his intense adolescent sexual fantasies and turn them into reality. His weekends are spent babysitting for 9 year-old Dustine, who has a remarkably morbid sense of humor (she plays dead a lot). Dustine’s mom Darlene is a trailer park slut, but Dustine isn’t really Darlene’s kid anyway – her first husband left her behind! You get the picture –it’s a typical day in rural America until Dale’s best friend Violet (Frank Zappa’s daughter Diva) has a freak accident and blows up the wrestling star Raymond’s pickup. She run’s to Darlene’s trailer – fetches Dale and Dustine and off they go on an evening’s adventure that will bring new meaning to the word kinky. Dale has always lusted after Raymond – he was jerking off to his yearbook photo earlier that evening – so when this gorgeous, muscular, smooth body presents itself he just can’t resist – so what if he’s dead! The acting is sometimes over the top and the jokes are ridiculous, but there is something irresistible about Play Dead.
