On her way out of town for good, Dina — a bubblegum-chewin’ fast-talkin’ queer grifter — makes a surprise pit stop to convince her beloved Bev to escape “the pious throttle of their small town church” (Dina’s words). But Bev — the assistant pastor with quiet charm and dry wit — isn’t so sure about leaving everything behind. Jean has a no nonsense attitude to both her cleaning job and her affluent clientele. But faced with the aftermath of a grieving drag queen’s night of hedonism, she is forced to confront the pain of her own loss, and the repercussions of a deep rooted prejudice.

Set in the heart of a declining ’90s rave culture, Cicada follows Gallup, Jack and Tony as they embark on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery through the pulsating lights and rhythmic beats of a fading utopia.
