Plots(1)

Stephen (Greg Lauren) and Danny (Christopher Gartin) are a successful gay couple living in Manhattan. Their lives are turned upside down when Stephen's parents announce a sudden visit. In a comic twist, the problem is not that they are gay, but that lead top-secret lives as hit men for mafia kingpin Victor Patrizzi (Tony Lo Bianco). Beloved members of his crime family, Victor treats the two men like his own sons, and wishes his own slightly effeminate sons (who would gladly leave the family "business" for careers in catering and decorating) could be more like Stephen and Danny. But Stephen's parents expect their son and his partner to be stereotypically gay and running a successful catering business--never imagining that they are actually brutal killers--so the couple must take a crash course in catering and "gay" life while preparing a dinner party for the parents' visit. In this comedy of manners, macho mafia types must learn catering skills from drag queens and gossip columnists while Stephen and Danny try and make their posh townhouse "gayer" for Stephen's unsuspecting mother and his father (who happens to be an undercover F.B.I. agent).
