A laugh-out-loud romp that examines the realities of small-town queer life and celebrates the transformative power of drag--perfect for fans of RuPaul's Drag Race and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Peter Thompkin needs a public image overhaul after his vicious clapback against the most popular gay in school goes viral. When his best friend Alan, aka teen drag queen Aggie Culture, announces the first public drag performance by The House of Rural Realness, Peter steps forward as their producer. It might be the only way he can restore his reputation.

Peter leads the queens as they survive bigoted backlash-and one another. But will Mason County's Drag Extravaganza drop dead before they make their first death drop? And will Peter and Alan's friendship even survive past curtain call?

Touching, sharply funny and a little absurd, The House of Rural Realness explores the pains and pleasures of queer community through one teen's stumbling journey towards self-acceptance.
