Mrs. Taggart, a venomous one-eyed matriarch who, despite her husband being long dead, demands her three grown sons gather for her 40th anniversary. Eldest Henry is a mild-mannered cross-dresser; middle child Terry is a henpecked weakling and carefree youngest son Thomas arrives with his pregnant fiancee. But this bumpy night has only just begun, as family secrets will be revealed, cruel insults hurled, and frilly underwear stolen. Even if the siblings can survive the festivities unscathed, does the biggest mother of them all have a shocking final surprise for everyone? (official distributor synopsis)
