It wasn't easy growing up in lower Alabama for Elmo King. Being tall and butt-ugly with kids picking on you just because you prefer being a girl. Somewhere along the way as a cruel joke, Elmo picked up the nickname Too-Sweet. Yearning for a life as vibrant as her spirit, she set her sights on the colorful chaos of San Francisco

At the heart of San Francisco's infamous Tenderloin district beats Divas, a transgender bar unlike any other. Owned by the charismatic Abdul, Divas is less a club and more a raucous, resilient family—think Cheers, but with a cast of unforgettable queens whose lives on the city's fringes are anything but ordinary.

When a misadventure with a worthless check leads to an accidental bank robbery, Too-Sweet is suddenly thrust into an unexpected spotlight—and her star is undeniably born.

Their vibrant world is about to collide with two old-school SFPD homicide detectives, Percy Hobitch and Myron Ledbetter, who find their latest robbery cases bizarrely intertwined with the denizens of Divas. As a string of disturbing murders escalates, the detectives are dragged deeper into a web where the lines between victim, perpetrator, and truth become deliciously blurred.

DIVAS is a daring, darkly comedic ride into the heart of San Francisco's most unique subculture. Prepare for a wildly original cult classic where the laughter is as sharp as the suspense, and every character feels vividly, unapologetically real. You've never read a story quite like this.
