Opis

Jasper Lane is a well-off neighborhood, not much different in appearance than most others, with a tree-lined drive, manicured lawns, and crystal clear ponds. But underneath the pleasantry there is a completely different world, oftentimes more menacing. Cassie Bloom, the grand dame of Jasper Lane who lives in a giant house on the cul-de-sac, has a missing son and husband, and throws gay porn parties that are the social event of the year. Her best friend, a transsexual named Vera, owns a nightclub. Melinda Gold is the resident religious fanatic whose views clash with that of her son Patrick - but she too has a secret. Sandy and Steve Jones are the all-American couple - well, except for the fact that Steve acts in gay-for-pay porn unbeknownst to his pregnant wife. Rick Cooper just moved to Jasper Lane and, despite his qualms about ever getting into another relationship (having literally lost an eye in the previous one) falls for ex-army man, James. And David and Cliff are the most "normal" couple on the block - but for the fact that David helped Cassie with some past nefarious deed and Cliff is the biggest gay porn star in the biz. All these stories interlock and play out in a brightly comic way with gay porn parties, a dog named Gayhound, and a dead body all being thrown in the mix. It may not be perfect, but it sure is fun!
