    [synopsis] => The Jumping Pumpkin, one of the most amazing gay clubs ever created, plays host to people who go to dance and party and take part in talent competitions. Part of this mix also contains the rowdy group who make up Pretty Boys Anonymous. Storm Westerfeld and Guy Manning are the owners of this incredible party space and one other. Their other venue is the Ice Castle, which is an hour-and-a-half's drive away in the industrial town of Liberty. With employees and close friends and confidantes, the purple-haired MC, Mad Malcolm, transgendered motor-bike-riding Fat Ellen, and in-the-process- of-transgendering' Bernie-Bernice, they have built both establishments into successful ventures. The money is dancing in. One evening, after a successful talent concert, they find they have been robbed, and it happens again and again. What quickly becomes certain is that the robberies are being carried out by one or two people who are brilliant enough to outwit a highly sophisticated security system and keep getting away with it. Identifying the thief or thieves is extremely difficult in venues where, men dress as women, women dress as men, women are desperately trying to become men, and men are trying to become women. Then there are those who might be sixty but look thirty. What, too, about the performers who regularly dress up and move around the Jumping Pumpkin, in particular, in costume? With names like 'Felicity Dodge', 'Big Boy Brad', “Hooting Helen' and 'Way Big Brenda' and 'Linda Loud and Luscious' they surely have other identities. There is also the performer with no name who simply arrives on stage as a giant butterfly. Over at the Ice Castle, there are gamers who inhabit its dungeon and live for hours in a world of virtual reality. What about those who go naked in the lake? How to catch a thief in this world of permutating people is a puzzle within an ever-changing set of enigmas? The best way to start is within the Jumping Pumpkin. There you will meet Storm, Guy, Mad Malcolm, Bernie-Bernice, Fat Ellen and Miss Whoop Whoop! They're more than just a mind game. Start your evening within the pumpkin, mind the purple step as you enter through the purple, glossy lips. The pumpkin's just about to wink. It's game and party time in more ways than one.
