While his classmates plan their livelihoods after they leave school, Jamie contemplates revealing his secret career ambition to become a fierce and proud drag queen. His best friend Pritti ( Patel ) and his loving mum ( Lancashire ) shower him with endless support, while local drag legend Miss Loco Chanelle ( Grant ) mentors him toward his debut stage performance. But Jamie also has to contend with an unsupportive father ( Ineson ), an uninspired careers advisor ( Horgan ), and some ignorant school kids who attempt to rain on his sensational parade.
