Heading to New York to attend a performance of the Broadway musical Rent, Joe (Tim Daly) and Helen (Crystal Bernard) are in for the first of a series of setbacks when the box office refuses to validate their tickets. Before long, the couple finds themselves flat broke and stranded in the Big Apple. Resourceful Joe then comes up with a brilliant idea to raise money -- he'll enter a drag queen contest -- or rather, he'll enter Helen as a contestant.
