What if you spent your life hiding who you are? Not because you want to, but because other's want you to stay invisible. In 1937 New York, burlesque performer Chauncey meets newly arrived Ned at an automat where gay men cruise.  Since homosexuality is illegal, the two must hide behind a secret code of behavior that protects them from arrest.  Chauncey is famous for portraying the Nance—a flamboyantly gay stereotype used in comic sketches.  Ned’s love, the support of his friends, and the city’s crack down on burlesque give Chauncey a chance to stop hiding and fight for his right to exist.
