Life has been particularly cruel over the past year to down-on-his-luck former finance bro, Francis Liang. When his realtor cousin Derek voluntells him to work his booth at Foggy Basin’s first Pride, Francis figures it’s a sign. He’ll get some Vitamin D, a change of scenery, and maybe he’ll be inspired to reboot his life.

 

A constant stream of eccentric and attractive people visit the booth, one of whom happens to be a shirtless firefighter with a great smile and penchant for mischief. Francis is indeed inspired, and he makes a feeble attempt at flirting. Miraculously, the guy reciprocates, and Francis takes it as a sign that it’s time for a change. While surrounded by so many folks who have started over in Foggy Basin, Francis decides to begin living his dreams, and Derek’s got the perfect property for him to make them a reality. If he plays his cards right, perhaps the handsome firefighter will be part of his fresh start.




 

Pride has finally come to the small town of Foggy Basin. The townsfolk are all excited to share in the celebration and curious about the drag show at the park. Come celebrate the first Pride Day in Foggy Basin. You’ll get to catch up with old friends and meet new ones too. But as always, you’ll be welcome, and you won’t want to leave.
