As the AIDS epidemic nears the end of its second decade, director/writer Stephen Winter feels comfortable enough to give this grave disease a bizarre spin. In his fantasy underworld, a band of urban transvestite terrorists stage a series of headline-grabbing physical attacks against conservative politicians whom they believe are collecting lists of those infected to be used for some nefarious purpose. As one of their group infiltrates the office of a conservative politician, a closeted African-American city councillor, the story takes even more hysterical twists. The marauding band of drag guerrillas, all queens of color, include HIV-positive diva Max Mo-Freak, the nominal leader; his dying sister Jamela; Larva, a fat, bitchy pretentious cross-dresser; junkie transvestite Lady Marmalade; and Sam, a young Asian and Mo's sometimes lover, whose friendship with the queens has radicalized him. The story evolves around Sam going undercover in the politicians office to ferret out the alleged list.
