City boys Philip and Franklin have no idea what's in store for them
when they move into a tiny vintage Airstream at bucolic Sawdust
Pines, a gay/lesbian campground and trailer resort in Florida's
remote Green Swamp. That's where they meet the former Rusty Rhodes,
a talented cabaret singer who had long yearned to live in the body
of his stage persona, Dusty Rose. For Dusty, the physical
transformation to female has been less disruptive than her
increasingly volatile relationship with background vocalist and
camp social director Diana, who has manipulated the diva's many
talents. When Dusty inexplicably vanishes midway through a special
anniversary performance, suspicion quickly falls upon Philip and
Franklin, whose golf cart (which is equipped with an anatomically
erect Statue of David hood ornament) is implicated in a possible
crime by ever-suspicious former nun Mary Angelique, life partner to
demure former convent mate Mary Agnes. The newcomers and their
neighbors on Grape Court (who are known as the Sour Grapes) have
good reason to keep the cops away from the campground, and they
strive to move heaven and earth to conceal critical information
from a handsome but bewildered deputy sheriff who is assigned to
probe the diva's disappearance. The Grapes are inadvertently
abetted in their efforts to misdirect the authorities by the
arrival of a tent city of hundreds of "pretend police" - men who
worship men in uniforms. It's madcap mayhem as the real cops, the
fake cops, the former nuns, and Philip and Franklin's campground
pals probe the fate of the disappearing diva while dodging
discovery of their own dubious activities. Only Father Jack Hoff,
the campground's unofficial chaplain, who hears late-night
confessions in his tool shed, has a clue as to the outcome. This
dialogue-driven tale may be the queerest - and most hilarious -
mystery story you'll ever read. So let the Sawdust Confessions
begin...
