A decades-old body is found in the decaying San Diego landmark Aztec Hotel. Horatio "Rush" Storms, struggling bar owner, is dragged into finding out who it was and why they wound up in the closet, literally. Duplicitous drag royalty, childhood heroines gone wrong and unreliable police keep getting in Rush's way while a series of gay-bashings keeps everyone on edge. San Diego in the early 1990's isn't like the tourism brochures said and Rush needs to balance keeping promises with staying in business.
