Mabel is the many-times-married director of a soup kitchen. Mousey poetry teacher Jane wants to make an impression at her next high school reunion (Someone Must See Me). And insecure newlywed Ronnie grew up on the wrong side of the tracks but married the "town catch" and feels unworthy of his love (The Picture). Two inept small-time crooks throw curves into everyone's lives when they break into the gym and hold up the women (Pitching Woo). Boots needs money to buy a cool car to attract that perfect lady-he can't resist spouting pickup lines with each breath (You're The Chick For Me). Fingers quotes movies (Silver Screen Blues) so he won't sound dumb and guards his treasure-filled Superman lunchbox to avoid ridicule. When a familiar-looking stranger arrives (Dreams For Sale), Celia discovers a decades-old betrayal after the robbers break the key in the door and everyone gets locked inside (The Dream). Tempers flare (Suck It Up, Sweetheart), romance blooms (Poetry & Jazz) and secrets are confessed (Happy)-just why has Maxine/Max masqueraded as a woman for 30 years? Only the arrival of the "town catch" assistant district attorney Troy reveals the truth behind Max's secret life (Curves). Ultimately, all discover they had what they needed all along (Life Happens).
