Mural artist Tilda Goodnight is struggling to pay off the mortgage on the family art gallery and to keep the lid on her family secrets. Her life was complicated enough when all she had to deal with were her daydreaming mother, her split-personality sister and her cross-dressing brother-in-law, but when con-man, charmer and sex-on-legs Davy Dempsey enters her life things begin to get really out of control. Suddenly everyone is faking something. What will happen when all the secrets are out? Will Davy recover his $3 million? Will Tilda find her true artistic calling? Will her mother run off with a hit man? And what exactly is the difference between a man labelled a doughnut and one who deserves the title muffin?

'The sex scenes are sublime; the story of mistaken identity a hoot. Oh go ahead. Indulge' - "Entertainment Weekly". 'Smart comedy' - "Daily Mirror".
