The Chanticleer

Set in 1955, Edie Chaucer inherits the family bar.  She returns to her upstate New York home, determined to make the place her own.

When Edie hires Val to bartend, the temperature and tension begins to rise. Val, a young lesbian, dresses in both women’s and men’s clothing, depending on her mood, a fact that ruffles the feathers of the underground gay set who adhere to strict butch/femme dynamics and dress codes.

Can Edie keep the bar safe from crooked cops and prying eyes? Will Val find her place, and find love in a world that keeps trying to push her down?
