However, her humble kitsch-filled kingdom crumbles when she catches her husband and best friend sullying the royal boudoir together. Now the small desert trailer park she calls home feels stifling, oppressive and ugly. When a telephone psychic reveals that she will soon meet three kings, she decks herself out in a glitter-covered dress and her mother's best faux-crystal earrings and heads out for a date with destiny at the local watering hole. Miraculously, her three kings appear in the form of a triad of cute boys (Prinze Jr., Kennedy, Petrarca) making a brief pit stop on their way to Las Vegas. Convinced that the young men are heaven-sent, Melba joins them on a liberating road trip to Las Vegas, in search of glamour, adventure and fortune. [More]
