Opis

Iris Haugsdahl is a shy, backwards Iowa dairy farmer's wife whose exposure to the world is eventually stretched to include Casino Night at the local Moose Lodge, where she discovers petty gambling. When Urbb, her much older and neglectful husband, is invited to a VFW convention in Las Vegas, she urges him to go. But Urbb dies unexpectedly, leaving Iris to go to Las Vegas alone. Also on the road to Las Vegas are their more prosperous neighbors, Forky and Netta Stimple. The Stimples have built a huge, stinking hog confinement directly across the road from the Haugsdahl farm - on purpose. They are confident that what they see as their esteemed position at home will translate successfully to Vegas. As for Iris, she is marked by her naivete, making her the target of the hucksters she meets. Kitty Velour sees that. Kitty, a transgender lounge singer and Las Vegas veteran, sets out to save Iris by remaking the farm wife in her image. It is, of course, a mistake."
