A campy, irreverent comedy that mines humor from the collision between suburban domesticity and flamboyant supernatural chaos, grounded in affection for its queer characters.

Marc and Emma move into a new house but have no idea that their basement was a gay nightclub. To make matters worse, the club was destroyed by fire, and now the house is haunted by the ghosts of five gay clubbers.
