SYNOPSIS

Ex-pop singer Angela Andrews (Charles Busch) is trapped in a hateful marriage with film producer Sol Sussman (Philip Baker Hall). Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, an out-of-work TV actor named Tony Parker (Jason Priestley), Angela murders her husband. In a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood kitsch, Angela’s Elektra-like daughter Edith (Natasha Lyonne) convinces Angela’s emotionally disturbed son Lance (Stark Sands) that they must avenge their father’s death by killing their mother.
