'And what is Sunday Mass if not the original Drag Brunch?' How did a wee Catholic Glesga boy end up being one of Spain's power house Drag Queens? And how is it the Catholic Church's fault? Follow young Gerrard as he goes through the many "acts" and "drags" he had to put on all in order to hide in the closet in early 2000s Glasgow. With the help of Madonna, a Zealous Nun and a dark encounter – Gerrard flees to España, only to collide straight into the fabulous Queen he was always meant to be.
