The retired singer Angela Arden (played by Charles Busch) has an abnormal family. Her eldest son Lance (played by Stark Sands) is gay and often struggles with his fluctuating emotions. Her youngest daughter Edith (played by Natasha Lyonne) secretly despises her mother and is close only to her father. Angela's marriage feels like a prison, leading her to be melancholic. She wants to take up the microphone again, but her husband—film producer Sol Sussman (played by Philip Baker Hall)—does everything to stop her. He despises her and, after learning of her affair with down-and-out actor "Pretty Boy" Tony Parker (played by Jason Priestley), cuts off all her financial support, forbids her return to the music scene, and refuses a divorce. Sol's cold and harsh treatment of their son Lance also drives Angela to the decision to poison him. Edith does not believe that her father died of a heart attack. She asks Lance to help her find evidence of their mother's deliberate murder, but Lance deeply loves his mother and finds himself in a dilemma. Meanwhile, their mother's lover Tony Parker intentionally gets close to the siblings, quickly winning their hearts and causing them to compete and fight. What is Tony's true identity? As the investigation deepens, the final truth is surprising. The conspiracy is tied to an old case—Angela killed her sister Barbara and took on her identity, and her two children are actually her sister's. Moreover, the deceased Sol reappears, attempting to kill Angela... Adapted from the 1999 stage play of the same name written and performed by Charles Busch, director Mark Rucker won the Special Jury Prize at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival for "Die, Mommie, Die."
