By day, Ed Popil was working as the manager of a telemarketing center in Rochester, New York. By night, he was transforming into drag queen Mrs. Kasha Davis, a 1960's era housewife trying to liberate herself from domestic toil, in an homage to Ed's own mother.

After seven years of auditioning to compete on RuPaul's Drag Race, Ed Popil was finally cast onto the show and thrust into a full time entertainment career at the age of 44. With one foot inching toward Hollywood's doorstep and the other cemented firmly within her beloved Rochester community, Mrs. Kasha Davis finds a surprising new audience at home as she works toward becoming the queer role model that Ed didn't have - but desperately wanted - growing up.
