    [synopsis] => Madame Gigi continues the epic story of Gigi's life in America. When she reaches the shores of America in the spring of 1946 after surviving the Holocaust, foremost in her thoughts is reuniting with her new Cajun husband. Standing alone on the harbor dock, she is devastated he has broken his promise to meet her. After two decades in America, Gigi is a twice-divorced, penniless mother of five sons, and at forty years of age, she feels at the lowest point of her life. It is then that she renovates and opens a small, elegant bar for executive types in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana. Business is tepid until three gay boys spread the word that a beautiful French lady, has a Parisian-style bar that welcomes gay people. Add three saucy drag queens to the mix and the bar becomes the hottest ticket between Houston and New Orleans. With the help of her right-hand man and soul mate Clarence, a handsome, disabled, gay veteran, she moves to a larger location and expands the cabaret shows. But, the club's success attracts the attention of a powerful man with unbridled ambition to become Louisiana's next governor. He vows to shut down the popular nightclub and run Gigi out of Lafayette by any means-even murder.
