She's Manhattan's most fabulous fruit fly! At 40, Violet, is the racy, fun-loving belle of the ball. She spends her nights as royalty, but when the party ends, she always heads home alone.
While her co-worker, Riley, struggles with his boyfriend, Markus, going baby-crazy, and her roommate, Luke, tackles monogo-mania, Violet's romantic life remains as one big bellyflop. Realizing that she is at a certain age and still single, Violet is at a crossroad.
Considering Violet's lifestyle and career, in the fast pace of high fashion PR, Riley suggests she seek out a straight male version of herself -- the mythical fag stag. While glamorous guru, Salome, advises otherwise, "To nab a man," she insists, "Violet must abandon her gay boys."
When Violet arrives home from yet another disastrous date to find Luke has organized a gay sex party in her bedroom, she decides Salome may be right! In order to get a prized man of her own, Violet strikes out on a hilarious quest to change the woman she is.
Chasing love and lust at all costs, she may find them in the most unlikely of places.
